Kevork Kalayjian: Change

Someday, when you are running
to the train station,
or when,
you are strolling in the park,
lazily,
looking at the falling leaf,
coming down from the blue sky,
you will notice another 
pair of eyes,
and you will wonder,


if...


pleasure


has yet another dimension
with an unacquainted pair of eyes,
then you will also ponder,
whether we are moved by the forces
of pleasure and profit alone,
or whether we are driven
by that illogical, undiscoverable,
magical feeling inside us.
