this feeling that i owe someone, everyone something for being on their turf—attention, money, service—is a feeling i’ve known nearly all my life. it is the burden of the refugee, passed down through generations. for everything my grandparents were given—food, asylum, the chance to make a new life for themselves—i have to keep paying back.
