Abstract

A poem describing concern about what hospitality is not about, that is, how migration to a new place eventually changes an individual. It is about how a person will reinvent themself. It is about how  new taste and new ways of seeing are (re)discovered. It is about how one will familiarize themself with new beats and new rhythms aimed at repressing the memory of the ancient home.
