...on being different...

I saw a photo of a bike with tiny wheels on flickr. I commented:

"
they stare at me
they tease me
they giggle behind my back
they make jokes about me

only because my wheels are tinier than normal
i´m not normal
it´s a hard life being teased all the time

but i found out:
i´m faster around corners, more practical
than normal bikes
they even use me to carry a message
because everyone will stare at me anyway
and notice the message

that´s a comfort
but only a comfort

my tiny wheels, my funny appearance, make me different
now my mind has also become

different
