Travel Plans

Tokyo and Instanbul
are places I've not been.
They're the same place.
Or so claims Zen.
*
*
History, brochures,
and residents there
will, I'm certain,
beg to differ.
*
*
Given time and money
(I don't ask much!),
I hope to visit both,
compare, contrast, and such.
*
*
'Til then I keep a Tokyo
in one part of my mind,
an Instanbul nearby:
two images that bind.
