Passages Here 5

Watching and waiting
Nothing happens;
Until just now


Trade buzz
Money changing hands;
Bazaar commotion


Old shophouses
Newly renovated;
Brisk traffic parades


Corner cafe
Stray conversations;
Small talk overhead


Spring time blossoms
Yunnan, China journey;
Leftover memories 


Midday siesta
Groggy with fatigue;
Day dreams of old China


Humid and hot sweat
Sun fires fiery fever;
Cold drink comforts


Noisy food court
Rush of lunch crowd;
Food salvation seekers


Fashionable retail
Branded goods purveyor;
Peacock feathered nuances


Welcome now
Our store promises plenty;
If you've got dough


Face after face
We measure our lives;
Sales offers escalate
