On To Hongkong On To Shanghai
got this trip this end of march
on to hongkong then to shanghai and then to thailand
she feels the excitement
chinese cuisine, great walls, thai dances
cheap jewelries, fashion clothes, river trails
exotic architecture, disneyland, and seedless durian
sometimes, i think about this escapade
i imagine when i am there
hongkong taxi, and chinese resto
i could have them here in chinatown
and disneyland, oh i am not a child anymore
for these ariticial fantasies
and what does thailand have to offer
but stinking elephants
at my age, no magic is possible
waste of time, waste of money
but she likes it and she's happy about it
that is more important
i am, nothing, but passe,
a past living in the past, not looking
for a future, not even the present
as to how it tastes, i am numb.
