Touched

The change of pace seems unfamiliar,
Discomforting and un-lively.
As did Deep breaths and their presence.

Vanish did they, as they come,
smiles, chirpiness and happiness.
Move did they, as they come,
hearts, minds and thoughts.

Perfumes, words, quirkiness,
subtlety, eyebrows, expressions.
Mraz, diaspora, smoke, steps,
culture, panic, love, pain,
Food, New York, LIFE!
