Loitering

Singapore tryst
Old times bordering;
Restored trade regime


Old Chinatown alleys
Winding streets await;
Takeaway souvenirs


Buzzing bazaars
Colourful wares shout;
Attractions ply


Smith Street
Chinatown circuit;
Oriental stuff


Strange name
Telok Ayer Street?
Meaningful glimpses


This Chinese temple
Tourists assemble;
Photo snapshots


Old men playing
Chinese chess;
Stone table forum


Street vendors
Crafts and wares;
Brisk commotion


Somnolent sunset
After light drizzle;
Swamp of human faces


Lost in the crowd
Two tiny specks
Seeking ***** bargains


Tucked in a corner
This awkward shoppe;
Viagra and company


Loud music blasts
Accompany footsteps;
Curiosity in-transit


Sea of faces
Mini United Nations;
Cosmopolitan nuances


Old shop houses
Clusters of modern comforts;
Brisk eateries


Chinese medical tonics
Healthy equilibrium;
Discerning aphrodisiacs


Feel the pulse 
Crowd en passant;
Curious eyes feast


Bumpy movement
Feet gravitate;
Looking and searching


So much to see
Discover again;
That long-lost find!
