CHANGE

	By Kevork Kalayjian


	Someday, when you are running
	to the train station,
	or when,
	you are strolling in the park,
	lazily,
	looking at the falling leaf,
	coming down from the blue sky,
	you will notice another
	pair of eyes,
	and you will wonder,

	if ...

	enjoyment

	has yet another dimension
	with an unacquainted pair of eyes,
	then you will also ponder,
	whether we are moved by the forces
	of pleasure and profit alone,
	or whether we are driven
	by that illogical, undiscoverable,
	magical feeling inside us.


	In either case, we are moved,
	and we take action, we perform
	to discover the mystery of intimacy,
	through our tears, our sweat, our flesh ...


	We are no longer there
	where we started from

	and we will always search
	that starting point again.
