Nestled
at the bottom
of the planet,
linked to
an archipelago
of scattered
islands
bordered by
two gigantic
oceans,
is Australia
Our Asian
neighbours
influence
this continent,
slipping us
easily
into silks
while we
embrace their
culinary flavours,
on coconut wood
tables and
sit on
bamboo chairs
still thinking
of ourselves
as Westerners
down here
in Asia.

I would like to translate this poem
bamboo chairs still thinking of ourselves as Westerners down here in Asia.
