He spoke. It wasn't my language.
He ate. It wasn't like my food.
He dressed. It wasn't what I wear.
He took my hand. It wasn't the color of my skin.
But when he laughed--it was how I laugh.
And when he cried--it was how I cry.
--Amy Maddox
"We are all broken. That's how the light gets in."--Ernest Hemingway
