Vietnam
is such an interesting land:
shoreline and mountain top
jungle and rice paddy
people and places
bungalows and water buffalo
brilliant sun and heavy rains
heartbreaking poverty
exquisite wealth
glistening skyscrapers
river shanties
busy city traffic
quiet dirt lanes
papa san
mama san
water puppets
flowers on the Perfume river
beauty and yes, depravity
yet with laughter and soft touches
final judgements
penetrating smiles
bright, inquisitive eyes
brown
with jet black hair.
i'm intrigued by it, all.
