i am in the vocal minority of a silent majority
but even as a minor voice of a majority of local vocals
i know that it is of an unlikely proportion
in a disproportionate
colony of coronets
rippling in waves


let it come out?


i am not in hiding
yet i am covered
smothered
drowned


i am undertrampled
overstrapped


why should i braced myself
bras myself
and come out


i am not in  avoidance
yet i am in abstemity
in mourning
innundated
insul(a)ted


i am uncaged
unraged


i don't need to come out
from


why should i show it
identify
discomfit myself
when
in opague invisibility
i see myself clearer
unfazed

sleaze

today
the day i saved for
the safe day
for carpe diem
the cuppa of pepper hot hiam
plate of humming mee siam
the pot of stew
of intersticed spice
multiplied three times three


today
i freeze out
freak no more
flank out the panza pincers
plier the pike


i plong the crap

taipu

visting china on June this year. Met with the three sons of brother Ngok Kou.
the two ladies on the right are the wives of Boa Qing and Lang Fu. the picture was taken at the newly opened park fronting the river.
It is clean and refreshing being in high ground. Opposite is the path with steps leading to the top of a hill overlooking the whole township of Taipu. Or is it by now a city. Taipu is surrounded by higher ground or hills. A river flows from here to the lower Swatow.

may it be day

slop slap sleep


to work sleepless not wanting
to sleep not working wanting
strange bed fellas
tearing at each others eyes
zombiing


to think the brain not knowing howto
to brainstorm the knowledge ill gotten
meeting at the circumference
the conference not referencing


chopping water
hewing wind
