how conditions are

on national day 
the view
from camelot

cloudy with
a touch of rain

london landing

the son’s graduating
the sun’s celebrating
tiger helicopter mums
must content themselves
with another eye’s view

it’s a kind of joy
nonetheless


Sunday at the Manulife Nets

grandpa and ma
will bring them to the Jewel
this weekend

at the entrance they will display
4 tickets to the nets
booked hastily for some time
when promises were forever
because parents are free
and children good at bouncing back

A photograph of adult and child on a suspended, bouncy rope net high above the ground at the Manulife Nets attraction in Changi Airport.

soon after spain i was in japan
where they’re very particular

chided by mrs ozaki
only socks could meet tatami
even that virgin slipper i’d filched 
from business class was banned

sandals off
for special encounters 
is as old a rite
as the burning bush

A vertical, nighttime photograph of a large, leafy shrub with dense foliage that glows in a fiery orange-yellow. The plant is illuminated by a streetlamp, creating a visual that strongly resembles a burning bush. The ground below is wet and reflects the bright light. The photograph was taken in Spain.

A dramatic, low-angle photograph of the abstract, fin-like architectural support of the Zubizuri Bridge in Bilbao, Spain, at night.
