transition

visiting home
visiting home of a friend overseas
deep green foliage and families and photographs
unusual pets, a stork, a lion
fixated eyes lock i feel like a bullfighter
standing staring uncertain but still
waiting for that moment of charge
instead of waiting i back away slowly

into the white truck speeding towards transportation
planning logisics
from truck to train to plane
we walk as brothers or best friends almost crossing the line
arms around shoulders
temple to temple
camel tan long cable knit suit is unexpected but
a confident stride can carry anything
the closeness is a surprise
the clear plastic mouth piece is an efficient deterrent

we can take a train between flights and see the sights
but first i have to change
