A Flash From The Past Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

A Flash From The Past

Rating: 5.0


A flash from the past
A narrative

sitting amongst the oaks in my backyard,
nice and relaxing, my mind goes back
to the times when I visited the alpha cities in the world

I really like to walk around in these cities,
no neighbors to meet,
no good friends to greet,

just walk independently
to anywhere in this area,
no obligations, none of that,

Alpha cities are the most important nodes
in the global economic network
I know one very beautiful

it lies on the west coast of India,
Mumbai is the name,
connected to it is the Arabian Sea
in the northern part of the Indian Ocean,

one of the many Indian states is Odisha
it is located on the beautiful quiet bay of Bengal,
Odisha, one of the amazing states of India,

suddenly I heard my help calling,
my students need to talk to me for their next final exam
