Memory Cut To Fit

Just what we needed;
a weekend away,
just you and me
and a cheap internet deal.

The horrors of
my huge reflection
bouncing from
a hundred hotel mirrors.

I moped and clung,
gravely enduring
the movements
of the bump.

Now we only remember
the floods, the detour,
the sea,
and the bargains you can find online.
