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!
