Poem
We sat at the only empty table. 
I'd never seen her before, 
that elegant, thirty-something lady, 
when I visited that shore. 

I was twenty-two years old, with big ideas, 
a little scruffy, a little thin. 
I may once have been more fascinated, 
but I can't remember when. 

In the air, a sense of revolution, 
an unseen, electric buzz - 
hours of uninterrupted conversation 
on that magic day that was.

"I am separated from my husband",
she mysteriously explained.
"Why?" I asked, my question drifting away, 
of it, nothing remained. 

I did not know the nature of their problem,
only that he was a doctor.
Her personal life was, it seemed, taboo, though
I wish I had unlocked her.

In the late afternoon, she bid me adieu,
departing to the West.
Suddenly, I knew that I was in love.
My purpose, I now possessed.

I hoped to find her on those foreign streets 
before I had to move on.
Finally, I spied her, amongst the busy crowd,
but she was no longer blonde.

Before I could catch her, she entered a store.
So, I decided to wait.
How was it that she never came out again?
I left, when they closed so late.

Just then, a thug from some political faction 
clubbed me, slammed me in a cell,
where I disappeared into a timeless fog,
emerging with a strange tale to tell. 

They released me, who knows how much later. 
I walked among the crowd,
trying to regain my wobbly footing,
my mind, beneath a cloud.

A man approached me, purposefully,
and I was shocked to see - 
in every detail, he was a replica 
of no one but me. 

He told me that I would be joining him. 
I pushed him and tried to run,
but he possessed superhuman strength 
and continued where he'd begun.

He asked what I did for a career,
and it was a shocker 
to hear my own voice say so loud and clear,
"I am a doctor".

"What a nice surprise that is", said he,
"so useful, I suggest.
We have someone we want you to meet.
She will be impressed".
