i’m the praying mantis  by the window

next to the fuzzy bumblebee in the aisle seat

each headed out on our own journeys

sharing a common space for a time

 love talking to strangers

their story never fails to be interesting 

when i wake up tomorrow

i’ll be in portugal

maybe i’ll cross paths with the flying bee again

perhaps not

everything is possible

let the adventure begin.
