I walked through airport halls
walked through the smokey streets
Talked to unfamiliar people
with an unfamiliar language
and never have seen such wonder
all around. You should have
seen how the world is.
At this edge of the world, where city
lights shine brighter than the stars and
buildings rise higher than mountains,
you'd wonder at the foundations of
humanity. For their world revolved on
clocks and trains and life without slumber.
You'd wonder at them for their unfamiliar
language, and they laugh with you for
the mutual misunderstanding. They bring
excitement and mystery, for you
both are tested for your communicational prowess. If you are lucky enough to not look like one of them, they may try to speak a common language.
So when you travel to the land of HK, don't forget to have fun.. and let them
surprise you.

I'd thought about writing about traveling...

lay those bricks on the ground
protect what you hold dear
drown in the sound
so quiet you cannot hear
city birds they run free
from cages of metal and rising smoke
but my brothers next to me
take a breath only to choke
there is nothing we can do
but we can only try
say it over again till it rings true
'this city will never die'

My girl is currently stuck in HK and I am counting the days until she is with me again.
