Mlle Amy Grant


You Take the bus, you get on the train, rent a car, you take an air plane. 
You push your bags around.  Sleep on the train, sleep on hotels, appartments,  you almost don't know when you're awake. 
You talk French, English, Portuguese, risk some Swedish, some Italian. 
You give away information about the subway to women in burqas on Switzerland. You hear a Portuguese explain how rooms are inside the buildings in Portugal. 
You see midle-east war and tragedy on every television, your hear about it in every different language and dialect. 
You want to go home, to feel safe, but you stay.
Because home is not exactly safe and because here is not exactly foreign.
