for PATTAYA TRADER 144 (E)

SKYRAIL-TRAIN-TO-SUWONG
I am in Bangkok
and not Hong Kong,
though folk back home
often get it wrong.
I board the skytrain
that heads for Suwong.

I am on Thai soil
and not part-of-China.
I'm by Siam Square.
I have a visa
and a round-trip ticket.
I'm a verse-poet and teacher.

Ys I'm in Bangkok
and not Hong Kong.
I'm on the skytrain
as it flies along
above the vast city
with its fans and gongs.
