Continents

I entered the country with kaleidoscope eyes and a big heart
Sahara in my memory, olive trees in my walk
The baggage claim at JFK was remarkable;
the luggage spinning around like a roulette wheel
My number finally came up, I won!
I'll speak any language you want
And build houses everywhere.

The taste of this city like salt. 
To Begin, 

Again
