It is privacy
Neutral territory
Away from
Day to day
At once fun
Exciting, other person
But not how
One behaves
When bills, are hungry
Tired, after work
Lack of sleep
Headache
Still, to travel well
With someone new
Reveals what
You crave
Adventure
Shared experience,
Rendezvous
Next May
Neither fall in love
Nor divorce
Your boring,
Sexless marriage
Good trip
Good fuck
Does not equate
Happiness for ages
Think of the children
Consider your wallet
You’ll always have
Paris
