Zero % cotton life

Monday through Saturday
recreation
vacation
cruise
c amping
nightlife

and on Sundays
morning church
for an hour
and then back
to the pick-up
picnic on the beach
white sands
and warm sun
in this tropical
island of so much
fun and run

coconuts and
rice cakes and pastries
and mild drinks
and barbecue
and steak

this is our way of living
letting life slide smoothly in our throats
like Tanduay rhum
nothing obstructed
no hang-ups

and on Sunday afternoons
time to fold
the tent and keep
the good and useful things
and throw the garbage
of our lives

nightime again
on our beds
with our loved ones
sleeping
together

snorkling in dreams
love of togetherness
and being just one family
without wasting any sofa
or wood

we just like it sticking
together
through thick and thin

without any cotton
or foam
