Holland

Let’s celebrate and go to Italy, I said. 
A joke I made, I didn’t understand.
A coincidence it seemed. 
An irony perchance. 
Because we are in Holland now.

Streams, torrents almost. 
Not where we thought we’d be. 
And yet. 
There’s plenty to see. 
A world opened up. 

I speak esoterically. 
A moment barely happening.
The beginning I hardly understand. 
I want to go to Italy. 
But here we are in Holland. 

The middle. 
The beginning. 
No moral. 
No ending

Seems appropriate.
