two worlds

my friend
Linda, calls me from Italy.
sends
me a picture of her eating
linguini
and drinking
wine
in Florence.
she's placed a flower
in her hair
for effect.
how are you, she asks.
what's new.
i send her a picture of me
at the food
court at the mall
eating a chili dog and drinking
an orange soda.
a bag of clothes
from Target at my feet.
the new fall line
is in, i tell her.
