Bed & Breakfast Open for Business


Getaway from the city
or whatever workaday world
surrounds you

Slow things down
by way of
Italian vegetable soup
and tapioca pudding

There are trails out back
reminding you
of wars long fought
and strategies undeployed
certain memories retained
others lost in recesses
of prior lives

What have you to
go back to
now that you’ve found
this place
where cold showers
and
made-to-order breakfasts
jumpstart your day

This business of
nothing but business
can only get you so far
    or so you
interestingly
          begin to tell yourself
