  4. Vacation Time! By Laura Salas Whenever I’m checked out, it’s like a vacation. I’m scanned and I’m packed for a new destination! I’ve floated in airplanes. I’ve lain on the beach I’ve hidden in bunk beds—just out of your reach. Been stained by spaghetti, been splashed at the lake. I’ve shared your adventures. I’ve kept you awake. At night in your sleeping bag—too dark to see— you whipped out a flashlight to keep reading me. I never quite know where my reader is bound, and hundreds of times I’ve been lost and then found. It’s good to get home, look around, see what’s new, but before long I’m antsy— A trip’s overdue! Bookspeak! (Clarion, Fall 2011) Poetry
