Sestina Upon Return From Disney World, June 2022

“A vacation with children,” said her friend
“Is not for pleasure -- it is a trip.”
And the mother agreed, and sent a text

Love the 2nd "verse" contrasting a person eschewing devices feeling like a smudge verses the person (people, the speaker feels surrounded) in a blue electric world. Raises the question of what is real? and then the speaker sees the reality of the woman arriving verses what she imagined in her head. Are feelings and imagination real? If not, why NOT be in a (just as real and non-real) blue electric world? Hmmm Thank you for posting!
