Universal languages, as observed in Montreal

Universal languages are -

something you understand without speaking.

How you connect with people of

different.

Cultures, places, traditions.

How you love people who are not the same as you.

Nobody is the same.

 

Smiles.

Grinning,

exchanging looks.

It doesn't matter if you know what the joke is.

 

Laughter.

Shared communication

says everything and nothing.

Just laugh with one another.

 

Holiday spirit.

French Christmas carols being sung over the loudspeakers

the hustle and bustle of mixed English and French

the love

joyfully singing along

looking glowingly at a neighbor.

 

Music.

Everybody has their favorite tunes -

why not share them?

It doesn't matter what language

it's apparent what it's about

rhythm

feeling.

We could all stand to feel a little more.

  • Festival

    Long day

    past where morning sun shines and into the dark huskiness of night

    fluorescent lights beating down 

    then flickering off

    a fanfare

    a reflection

    a redemption

  • Instincts

    Some things are just instinct

    like when I just ran to you

    as soon as I saw you

    and hugged you for -

    oh yeah -

    the first time

    very very platonic of course

    you're my big brother.

  • Flying solo

    Your solo is like sun shining through the clouds in my heart

    it's like a platonic ballad

    it's like you are playing

    through first loves

    and forbidden loves

    and grass in the summer

    and crunchy chips
