I Looked Up
When I travel, I look down.
I look down at the lights.
They tell me how to move.
I listen. And when I have learned the movements by heart, still I look at the lights.
Today, I looked up.
I saw a whole world. A world of colors. A world of life.
People dressed in the colors and shapes of their own expression.
Restaurants with new mixtures of spices to enjoy.
A comic and games store where perhaps I might meet someone nice in the future.
I spoke to woman who took my order, and for a moment we shared a laugh.
Today, I looked up.
