Two Homes

walk here    walk here
see uncivilized people sick of despair
mocking    talking    stealing   walking
paths gardened with garbage and dusty air
avoid the scary indifference of those who weren't raised
and never ask for directions if lost
stay here    stay here
they'll take you some where
nowhere




walk there    walk there
see cars defining privilege and crafted houses of millionaires
take a bridge and gaze at clean sideways with lilies and unique wear
and ask for help if lost
polite people will guide you    not scare
and now start to compare
the difference between here    and there


*A reflection on being caught between two cultures, two homes.
