Notes About The Poem

Bangkok Dream
A young man, driving from work, my car would steer,
for some panang curry and Singha beer
Chao Krung restaurant, my favorite cuisine -
and Bangkok, Thailand in my dream.
A young artist, as I well recall,
painted Bangkok at night on an entire wall,
I can still see the city lights gleam,
the other City of Angels in my dream.
We were young. My, she was pretty.
I offered to show her the L.A. city,
the Angeles forest, a Malibu beach scene,
with my new Bangkok, Thailand dream.
But in a year, we went separate ways,
though I have fond memories of those days.
A laughing God, made fate intervene,
to the back of my mind went my Krung Tep dream.
The friendly Thai people live in the Land of Smiles,
but, from L.A., it's eight thousand miles.
Can this old man, live out such a scheme,
and visit Bangkok, Thailand, a forty-year dream?
