My travel weary toes wriggle in the sand
Crocs in my hand.
Someone waits, but they can wait a bit longer.
My cell phone vibrates against my hip
I eagerly grab the phone - usual curses forgotten.
Waikiki has mellowed me.
Jan's voice rings clear, we have a new president!
Obama's won - McCain's conceded - There won't be a fight!
I sink onto the sand and savor the sunset
Hope restored - I smile.

Late, rushed, overworked before I even get to work
I treat myself to a mocha with amaretto - free flavor day
Lucky me - I smile.
At work television's on, staff gathered round to watch
Books checked in while eyes watch the events unfold.
I sink onto the kick-stool and savor my coffee
He raises a hand and lifts a nation.
