Now we’ve gone sleeper
we’re never coming back.
We’re too in love with the bed,
how it folds into seats,
how we fit into our roomette
like a paperback sliding in
and out of a carry-on’s pocket.
Next we’re going tiny or without
luggage or coach. We’ll make canoes
of our backs and dining cars
of our bellies, so we can savor
our supper like the sea otters
we spotted last night floating by.
