(a story in senryu stanzas)
I get migraines.
- lucky me - glare can set me
off within seconds.
I always have a
pair of dark, polarized shades
with me - it’s a quirk.
When I was fourteen,
we lived in Shenzhen, China
very near Macau.
Macau, China, the
“Las Vegas” of Asia, is
the home of glare.
The Ritz-Carlton, has
a glittering galaxy
of bright chandeliers.
Those chandeliers move,
their silhouettes change shape - just
stab me with a spork.
Did I mention the
Mirrors? Every wall served to
magnify the light.
“You look awful,” my
mom said - our two week booking
became ten minutes.
“I just need sunnies,
those would work,” *then I gasped*
“I’ll look glamorous!”
We changed hotels, but
what a small world - my roommate
Leong grew up there.
We could have passed in
the yè shì as teenagers
and now we're roommates.
.
.
sunnies = sunglasses (UK slang)
yè shì = night market (simplified Chinese)
Away from the sun to the horizon
flaming road
Lamps with different colors and sizes
Different group of people
Came out of the house
In the thick midnight
Anyway, male or female,
Beautiful Couples
Completely natural
City streets
Street sidewalks
Street Squares
Garden benches, drifts
Sweet light, with a touch of cool air
and welcome to love one
In love with love exchange
Exchange in pain with bottle
Money exchange with work
Property gambling in casinos
Beer bar, dance bar and night clubs
Beautiful like night angles
Dance and enjoy loud music through DJ effects
With magnificent colorful light
Where can get fully enjoyed
Peoples Night Life !
Oh, the quiet and enjoyable atmosphere !
Screw assembly in the streets in the middle of the night
Yet the city is safe depends
Macau
What a joy to behold the world
Unique Night life is !

Once our Senorita from Sevilla
Hurried with unborn twins to Lisboa
Some said twins were long due
Others : Port Ugh ! Geese knew
Why then she named twins : Macau and Goa ?

"Yehaa" Is how Cowboys say
and once I saw you
My Heart beats accelerate.
We`ve seen each other and
Locked Eyes in our Round trip
to Macau.
Geez,I`m so sorry my
Dear Brother Embarassed me
"Sorry"
When I saw you,
you`ve got Piercing Blue Eyes
and Red Luscious Lips.
"Oh how I wish to kiss those Lips."
I say to myself,
You're making me so Crazy!
But Hours and hours passed
and I haven`t seen you again
well,Macau is a Small City!
See you `till Next Time Mr. Cowboy
of mine,`Till we met I see.
Good Luck on it to thee
