The Road Into Hoi An Part 2
And the road, the road, is blue and grey,
with sounds and sounds and a new deal
every day, and every way you can think of ,
which shudders the big blue, the big grey
buildings of plaster and bare, bare brick and
nonsense, no sense electrical, theatrical buzzing
flashing market, stalls;
And you weave you weave, you have to in the
mesmeric, rhetoric of the heavy, levy, worse on
sunday, black, red and plastic blue, gassed up,
metered, skipping, gripping, ripping motor biking
traffic from hell; from now; from anywhere:
and the harsh, kitsch sounds and painted boards
send you up the hill, and into the thousand-shop
main street ; the biggest shopping street in the ,
”where you from, what you looking for?”
hairy, scary, repairing, crazy, bucolic, alcoholic,
in your face, in your place, no disgrace, screwy, all day ,
crazy, throbbing, bobbing, jobbing, whirling, curling
Hoi An crazy world.
