it is here where on the first day
everyone is excited to know each other's names
endless hellos
each wanting what we do where we come from
fourteen days of roaming around
from one city to another
one changing landscape to another
imposing landscape
each night a different hotel
a different meal
on the last day
the bonding fades as one prepares
for the good bye
the tall man who happens to be
a dentist delivers its impeccable speech
in English
saying that soon we part
and then we go back to our own realities
at the airport in that connecting flight
we saw both of you waiting for your connecting flight
back to Australia
we passed by
and here we are strangers again to each other
as we board our own plane
back to home
16 flights hours away....
