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.
