Dreaming About Holidays. Poem by Konstantin Ananin

- We’re going to Hawaii
In June.
_________- You’re lucky. I mean
Our family does not
Go on holiday. Bob’s
Company has not given him
A holiday at all since
He began working there.
- Bad luck! I say. But where
Did he find such a bad place?
- The trouble is that he can’t face
Out his boss. In the firm
Where he worked before the terms
Were very bad, and when he asked
To give him a holiday, just
A fortnight; his boss gave the gate
To him.
_________- I see. What a shame!
