bumper to bumper
stuck in the heat
tail pipes grumble
as vendors hawk garlands
& tidbits to eat
hé təə təə à yâak sʉ́ʉ kɔ̌ɔng lék lék kɔ̌ɔng chǎn mǎi
lót raa kaa pí sèet sʉ́ʉ tə̀ kâ!
bicycles weave amidst
shining masses of debris
as pedestrians
acknowledge metallic hulks
while chewing betel nut patiently
kun sʉ́ʉ nîi châi mái?
man kɛ̂ɛ bàat dâi bpròot!
obsessed about moving faster
how ironic
nothing moves!
