Literature Text

When I travel I
Stare into the crowd and wonder
Who stares back
And spots the piece out-of-place,
The newcomer.
I vacillate between twin games
Of fitting in and standing out,
Trying to goad the busy audience around me
To guess whether I am native
Or gaze curiously as I display my strangeness
In peacock readiness:
Talking freely with accent,
Loudly and grinning with excitement
And comparing aloud this place with home.
