Space

In the small island that I know better,

we learn to take small steps

we learn not to wave our hands wildly when we walk

we learn to move slowly, 

for fear of treading on the toes of others,

for fear of thrusting into fellow islanders' space 

in this densely-populated isles.

In this vast expanse which I come to know,

we can ride bikes with one hand

for there is no fear of knocking down a pedestrian.

What can be worse -- you just fall down!

In this wide realm that now I know, 

we can walk as fast as we want

we can stop when we fancy

with no fear of someone tailgating behind.

The space is vast

the mind is free.
