Learning Your Way

To begin with, you won't know the language.

New countries are always hard,

and you'll probably wonder often why the hell you came.

On some height you may pause, winded,

to see the city laid out below,

but fail to notice that this breathing place

is well along the road.

Here you can become a native,

but you don't yet know what that means.

Hoist your troublesome bundle again and keep walking.
