A plane arrives
hauling foreign eyes
whose confusion,
makes them seem unwise.
They aren't.
The different signs,
trick these foreign eyes,
that have never seen letters
drawn with crossing lines.
The new language puzzles the foreign ears
putting the brain in a constant shame.
Making the face look less than sane.
The foreign hands,
don't know how to exchange
a currency that's alien,
hungered mouth still yearning.
A foreign body now in shock,
questions hosts who are but cogs.
Sense of humor all but lost,
fear for safety, all forethought.
