john tiong chunghoo Poems

streets with portuguese names
lead us to shops
with English names
...

Senado Square
still commanding our attention
the Portuguese
...

taking us to the
sky of entertainment
Cirque Du Soleil - Zaia!
...

Pageant of the Masters
a roaring sea of
applause
...

all in the neighbourhoods
Tang Dynasty Palace and
the Roman Coliseum
...

another kind
old gweilo
Jean Todt
...

Ng Yen Yen
a character from my favourite
wang mei tiau movie?
...

see among the scums, little worms
among the sandy desert, bulbous shrouds
with the best juices and honey you would not believe
the bees and ants flock to them
...
