short flights in basically the same direction

meeting
on trains
not so much an adventure
as it is
a floodgate

jumping back in
to a time
when one might order 'off the menu'
an old recipe
slightly familiar
in sepia

there is a warm coffee
waiting somewhere
it was hot
but we got to talking
and forgot the time

strangers
in Paris
or Santorini
easy to get to
harder to leave
