it looks like chance
encounters on familiar streets
an invite, a new face, I fall in love
(it’s only love
at first sight
if you recognise it)
I didn’t call it that because
I didn’t expect it to happen
here
in my backyard
(so to speak)
when you find someone
at home and so obviously
in love
with here, does that mean
the opposite of travel
whatever that may be…
