I was fortunate to spend 5 months in Paris in 2004 as an intern at the United Nations Environment Program. It was the second time in my life moving somewhere completely foreign and different, the first being our family move from Kenya to Canada in 1988. I wrote this poem a short while after returning to Vancouver from Paris, trying to make sense of my place in the world while negotiating cultural (re)adjustments as well as the end of a romantic relationship.
