What is often forgotten about immigrants is that they are also emigrants, leaving behind a home, a family, a culture, a memory, a consciousness. Constantly struggling between the double consciousness, ever searching for a constant state of being, ever journeying from a distant awareness. Fragmented by the furious stream of lost thought, I am, in each world, viewed as an intruder.
