When I was younger
I did not feel at home in the world
For the world was a set of disconnected places
Each intense, full of feelings and memories
I could barely imagine
how to get from one to another
without falling through the cracks
which were filled with fear of falling
getting lost, being late, going the wrong way
Now I am older
I have fewer desires and goals to realize
fewer people and things to take care of
I know that the ways are infinite
and there is all the time in the world
London feels safer, smaller, cleaner
and I wonder about my old self
