Transitions are hard.
So are griddles.
Transitions fell on my brain.
The [iron] griddle on my foot.
My location has changed.
So has my brain.
It's hard.
Changes.
But not for everyone.
Awaiting NYC's F train, I struck up conversation with a bearded philosopher
I envied.
He, noticing my luggage still tagged from JFK, jollied on the delights of reverse culture shock.
I sulked.
I'm not all grumbles. I do like Home. Even while I miss 'home.'
Uppercase Home offers me friendly interactions w/ strangers.
Much missed random acts of warmth.
But the late 'home' won't be forgotten.
The solitude of my desk.
The peace of a language I can tune off.
