Melon wards off collie

A satisfying croissant for mid-morning accompanied by quite the tasty coffee put my appetite off kilter come noon.
On my lunch break I ventured out for fruit...Redfern showed me its funny personality, its oddness and its colour. Coffee shop & sushi place, tea cafe & soup resort, designers with a chip & edge but no go with the fruit.
Until, this look from a guy with a 'tache, a tache for fun, a tache for mon, a moustache, a-could-have-been a mistake, but no, a look from him set me on the path. A smile, a suggestion, my fruit was found. Sought fruit. Colours & smells & possibilities...i chose an apple.
Melon? maybe melon for much later.
A joyous day, learning from an informed man, who likes to joke & share some gruesome anecdotes.
Then a surprising new aquaintance, not so quaint but quite lovely, and brief. Followed by another buddy...then home, then work. The joy, the process, the pressure. The outsider. It comes to distract. It comes to inform. It comes to remind, highlight & confirm.
It saddens me. But then again, my eyes are sleepy...and I find...my melon.

Also,
this!...I have known I want to go to Japan for a while
...now I know why, more
