Passages Here 2

Sit here and watch
Buzz of bazaar crowd;
Adrenaline rush


Chinatown fragrance
Odd and strange;
Familiar nostalgia 


Old men staring
Blank faces recite;
Long forgotten tales


Age brings unrest
Reflections on mirrors;
Stagnant marshes


When you see me
Do I see you;
Familiar shadows mingle


One by one
You pass me by;
Solitary shadow


Lonely scarecrow
Straw marionette;
Harvest leftover


Day turns to night
Day flushes night;
Royal flush again


So many empty
Taxicabs on prowl;
Missing passengers


Tourist visitor centre
Instant information;
Chinatown hotspot


Evening strollers
Dog leading owner;
Free spirited sprints


News flash: why and how
Who and where;
What happened when?
