Never Fazed By a Language Barrier

A friend once told me How he was fascinated by me- By how I could walk up to absolutely Anyone and be their best friend, Switch cultures like t-shirts Emblazoned with "I heart Fill-in-the-blank..." I'm not sure quite how to explain How once you've observed society For long enough you realize That just about everyone you Will ever meet acts just like Your own teenage brother, Like your mother, your father, Like your little sister- Like the best friend you've Known for your whole life... Everyone has heard the phrase, "We're all God's children," But it seems like everyone Is suddenly blind to their Family resemblence When one of them says, "Que tal, manito?" instead of "What's up, bro?" Don't tell me that it's Not possible for you To communicate with Someone whose birth certificate Lists a country of origin That's different from your own- Don't say you can't pick up New language when "YOLO" Was not an expression that Existed on the face of the Earth Until a couple of years ago... Besides, we both know how you Always found a way to Gossip in class, by shooting hand Gestures and loaded glances Halfway across the classroom- Halfway across a globe never Seemed all that different to me, So maybe that's the reason I was never fazed By a language barrier.
