after a transcontinental flight
(after Anna Couanni's domestic)
you saw cappuccino poured
into a Doctor Who cup
and a green marzipan cake
waiting for the spooning
you played your ukulele
broken tempo, simple strumming
singing out of tune
but the song goes on
no ears plugged
you plugged your Nintendo 3DS
in for a charge, no adaptor required
for different plug, different socket
you sat back with a long aaah
that's when you knew
you were home

yes, the charging becomes so much easier at home! And all that familiar paraphernalia.
