that the virtual world
is smaller now
corporate banners
drape
the wallsjust beyond the buddha gaze
it's over
twenty-five years
since i worked in
southern thailandthe heat persists
everything else has changed
i stopped eating prawns
decades ago
mango rambutan and little bananas
are still sweet
the tapi river
may not be fished
outbut the teak forests
need to be hidden away
in every dark
alley
a lone welder
strikes an arc
a hundred baht
less than yesterday's exchange
