(Not) On The Road Pt 5

Ain't life grand?
This self-styled
"Man Who Follows His Dreams"
After all his thinking about where to go next
On the verge of buying a ticket to
Rainy old Manchester, England
To land there next Wednesday
(A quick check on the weather shows that
It is, indeed
Raining)
Sleeps in his San Miguel hostel bed
And dreams vividly of a country
A million miles from his thoughts
And wakes to hear the words
"Go X"
("X" being the compass direction
To that place)
And a quick perusal of plane tickets
Shows that I can make it
Within a week
For five pesos less than I have in my bank account
(I also have about enough cash
For a week)
So...
What's a boy to do?
Well -
This boy
Will let it brew
See what the signs say
Maybe sleep on it a couple more nights
And...
Giggle about the whole thing
And the possibilities
And -
Probably still go to Manchester anyway ;)
