Body Language

Traveling makes you see the world for what it really is.
A little bit dirt. A little bit cobblestone.
And a lot of different ways to say bathroom.
It’s a mess of people.
With funny hair. Funny clothes.
Just as confused as you are.
They may walk slower. Talk faster.
Smoke more. Eat better. Think you’re crazy.
Have shoes that are worth more than your life.
But you are more alike than unalike.
Hug. Shake. Kiss. Wink. Wave.
Like you mean it.
Halfway around the world and I understand their language completely.
