today
i saw a girl
who
lived a life i crave

even though
i do not know her tale

beautiful assumptions
of a beautiful traveller
seven thirty
inner city
messy hair
bowler hat
queen of spades sticking out

guitar case
backpacks
tote bags
shiny wooden case
like a box of pétanque boules
or so it seems

i am a creature of hope
and i believe in my dream
of her
