On the road and in air, luggage packed, I so long for the comforts of home. These motels and the hostels' stained rooms have dank walls, and the mattresses, foam. Overwhelming my sense of repose is annoyance of raucous events of the tenants who selfishly chose to insist they decry their laments. To be sure, I'd be home on my chaise, likely reading a Grisham or Quinn, taking comfort in each turn of phrase, and forgetting when travels begin. Purple martins have only to find the next birdhouse to stay as they roam, they're content without lives intertwined with relaxing, small comforts of home.
