BOBBIE'S HALF-A-DAY OUT

luscent jackfruit, burnished lacquerware
James George Scott trumped by General [Bogyoke] Aung San

ageing buildings, gaping windows
Pagoda Road embellished by art deco shells

female longyi, phallic monument
City Hall and the Sule in an equidistance

peanuts and corn, chicken and pork
skewered offal crumbling at Maha Bandula Park 

wooden bridges, boiling water
a buoyant restaurant in Kandawgyi Lake

gin and tonic, rum and coke
liquid fire discerned by the Blind Tiger

saffron monks in a golden stupa
the struggle of night and day at Shwedagon Pagoda

crabs and prawns, cold beer at Min Lann
thank you Bobbie for the half-day out
