Tourists too have a stable life,
as their placeholder brothers and sisters.
With stress and strife
and bills to pay, occasional blisters.
It has just been chance or choice
that appear to make us different.
So judge or wish deliberately,
before you our places take.
We'll both return home
to that self-same place.
And we'll give no matter
to distances, landscapes
and the spaces left intween.
