Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
It’s not me, I don’t know where to go. I can feel the eyes, I can feel my difference. I need to grow into this city, make it my own. Get a job, make some friends, go to a few parties and mingle. Until then, I will only continue to feel the heat of my sole awareness that I am not from here and the unease in that I may not belong here. But no one else knows, they wouldn’t and they don’t. Who are they to read my mannerisms like I do theirs? I’m just crossing the road or looking one way, nothing out of the oridinary. But me, I’m glancing, darting, and getting lost all the while unable to run smoothly like I could at ‘home’, where it used to be.
