Closer the day advances
where soon hour by hour
the time of her arrival as
pre-scheduled draws ever
imperceptibly nearer atop
a sixteen hour flight from
the Continent down under.

Two years have we exchanged
thoughts, views, our daily life
learning to know each other,
our beliefs, character, mores,
now as good cyber friends we
will personally meet to spend
some pleasant time together.

Our preconception of each other
surely will meet with some correct
conceptions, somewhat balanced
by deviations of misconceptions,
which are a predictive normality,
on the whole however, we should
anticipate that our intuitiveness,
hopes, will meet all expectations.
