2. The Visit

Day 2 of PAD

For today’s prompt, write a visitor poem. The poem can be from the point of view of a visitor–or the people receiving the visitor. The visitor could be expected or unexpected. The visitor could be welcome or unwelcome. The visitor doesn’t even have to be human

Hello sis
How’s it goin’?
Bobby okay? The kids?
I don’t mean to bother, but
I need a bed.
A couple days,
I’ll be gone, again,
like the wind.
I have some business
to take care of,
at the bank, investments.
No, I don’t need money,
not anymore.
I do need your ID,
I can’t leave it to
the Feds.
They haven’t earned it,
no, they’ve stolen it
from my future life
that will never be,
with their red tape
and sticky feet.
No, I won’t be coming back
for Christmas.
