Instagram Day
For CVB We made a day of it, You and I, sitting tucked Into the cobblestone alley Overlooking the garland-decked square. As we laughed over stone-baked pizza— Its thin crust folded in half to contain The cheesy goodness—we reminded Ourselves in that colorful courtyard Of who we were created to be. In sunshine and small talk We enjoyed the gift of this Unlikely friendship: two women As different as gin and a cup Of black tea. We are an odd pair, The two of us, exploring the city Through flower carts and borough markets, Buskers and galleries of the finer arts, Laughing as we pose—you staring Down Mr. Bean, while I dance In the rain with Gene Kelley— Before strolling down the river Thames For a cider and a lemonade, then Parting ways for a night on the town And a quiet evening curled up at home.
