Late-Afternoon Nap

                                                                  

There's nothing quite like catching an elusive snooze,

Grasping a fleet-footed catnap,

Grabbing a quarter of the normal forty winks,

Something far short of a ripsnorting Van Winkle doze,

To make a man on an escape from numbing urban routine

Surrender to the body's natural need to relax

And be sundered by the carefreedom a mini-slumber provides,

 

Which is precisely what I did, late this Friday afternoon,

Here, on my first full day back in away-from-it-all Wisconsin,

Where the lake is melting a month too early

And the few streets the village boasts are snowless,

Yet echoing with the fast-paced footfalls of my jogging shoes...

Nothing quite like chasing an hour's nap,

To awaken the soul to the balm of emancipation and calm.
