The Bahamas
Teleportation is lighthearted small talk about mid-week vacations.
Casual fantasy about redefining the limits of your reality.
Wouldn’t it be great to take a break in the Bahamas?
Anyways, what were you saying?
Strip away the supernatural, or the science fiction.
Let me ask you, have you ever tried?
Keep your eyes open, feel the shift in your focus
out beyond the confines of the office walls.
There is a vibration as disbelief suspends and
the self becomes uncontained.
6103 miles. 9 time zones.
Playing dice in the afternoon while she crawls into bed.
As I wait out the round, I feel the air change.
Sun on my skin peeking through the blinds.
Such a familiar feeling.
Always right there when you need it,
clouds and planetary motion be damned.
Who needs the Bahamas when the sun is omnipresent?
