How People Walk
In Australia, she kept
bumping shoulders. So she
stepped back, pressed against
a wall, watched the street.
And there it was: they walk
from the left, as we do
from the right.
That’s how she learned
difference isn’t always a mistake.
Sometimes, you need to stand
still to see the shape
another world takes.
