Differences

If I drink my coffee
with two spoons of sugar
and you drink your coffee with four
it doesn’t mean that mine is sweeter
it means our taste is different

If I am cold in the wind
and you are warm
it doesn’t mean you are not sensitive
it means that the warmth in our body
is different

If I hear the wind of the trees
and you don’t
it doesn’t mean that my hearing is better
it means we hear different things

If I look to the sky and see a kite
and you see an airplane
it doesn’t mean that I don’t see well
it means we see different things

The difference between us
makes us closer
If for taste, music, feelings
and appearance we act differently
it shows how special we are

I can't tell the future so I choose this based on the past. This poem of differences between people can be great part in the ethnography project because ethnography is the studying of different people around us and our community. Some people just think: "Hey! Poetry only uses rhythmic words! This doesn't rhyme!" Well what it should be is the writing doesn't need to be rhythmic, as long as it have a structure and feelings.
