PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I didn’t spring

for the international chip 

deluded myself

into thinking I could use

the hotel or barroom wifi.

Instead I found myself

off the grid;

my phone stuck

in the wrong time zone

and no access—

no calls in or calls out

no internet.

I could still take pictures

but all lines of communication

were closed to me

“Woo Hoo!”

was my first thought

off the grid will be peaceful.

and 96 hours later

the battery was sitting at 64%.

I was out of touch

and it was divine;

so quiet and peaceful

I really must do this more often.
