more,
people tell you after they
come back
from a trip
overseas.
we just love to go to new
places,
places that we've never been.
have you ever been to
Istanbul,
or Kingston?
they ask, pulling out
their phone to show you
a fish
they caught,
or a rug they bought
when in Turkey.
You'd love
Portugal, or Berlin,
what about,
Sweden or London?
they show you their
passport,
full of stamps.
their refrigerator magnets
stuck to the door.
i stare at their luggage,
still packed.
we're leaving for Argentina
on Monday,
would you be a prince
and watch our tabby
once more?
