I’ve met the occasional urbanite
who favoured the scale of Istanbul
over the villagesque charm of Maastricht
I love to linger in the medieval streets
and secretly snap unsuspecting people
revealing their cravings
as astute enterpreneurs
reel them into their shops & restaurants

Meanwhile, at home
we equally cater to the needs
of the little people
walking by our window panes
they hunch
they gaze
ignoring the tugs
from their parents
pointing out what they admire
to the more patient grand-parents
