Thinking on the Tube

As I sit here on this tube,

I feel like a traveling noob.

I'm now in London,

With constant thoughts all of the sudden.

Where there was no anxiety before,

It seems like this is now something I suffer.

Or is this an amplification of experiential feelings,

That I used to brush off and ignore in previous dealings?

Now there is a lot more sensation,

Where a place is more than just a destination,

Beyond all its external presentation,

Representing someone's home or someone's place of immigration;

My vacation is actually someone else's nation.
