032710h Bus Change-Over At Waikiki Poem by Manonton Dalan

farther closer to the beach
group of retirees playing chess
so quiet, it beats the unlived
you could hear the stop watch
sliding pieces; check mate! ! !
thirty minutes of game, great

you either watch them play
or tiny fabrics clinging to a flesh
or take a nap after few 'mai tai'
i pick up day old honolulu advertiser
cover page in bold letters 'tsunami'
they're disappointed it didn't come

kids running around giving away fliers
sunset dinner at sea, glass bottom tour
scuba diving, macadamia factory tour
my bus came it will pass sea life park
i want to pet giant turtles and dolphins
watch pirates of caribbean and friends
