Wisconsin poet John Lehman recast my overtaxed vacationeer’s Facebook post as a Lehman “justified poem.” I’m deeply honored. (With apologies to the Steve Miller Band.)

…and what if you had stayed behind. More dead bodies:
Finding Happiness in Wisconsin
Put a 300 watt bulb in that reading lamp,
pour warm gravy over your scrambled eggs,
imagine doing laps while lolling in a bath.
Or invite your neighbor over and when he
trudges by, pretend you’re not there. Life
is like ice fishing in the dark. Sometimes
you snag a seven-pound bass, sometimes
that fisherman who drowned last year.
