Matched

Matching this to that invites a scrutiny of detail:

the amount of bush-herbed olive oil in the dipping dish to the amount of bread twisted from a tiny baguette,

the weight of the wallet to the country where dollar and two-dollar coins add up and weigh down,

and

cash in pocket to item desired,

look right

look right

want to need,

sleep cycle to sun cycle,

hunger to mealtime,

clothing to weather,


walking left to looking right,

bin to basket, rubbish to trash, trolly to cart, sachet to packet,

EFPOS to debit,

early spring to August,

pleasure to joy.

Back in Oz, I’m mysteriously matched.
