Singapore

Contrasts of collaborative culture,

Curtailed by restrictions, roads, and political rationales.


A pressing of mobs, simmering hyper fluid.

Multieverything in multiple everywhere.

A fractal canvas permeates island reality


Steamed pork buns are ubiquitous.

But locals tell me proper meals need rice

Kalaidascipic snacks sent from all the island state's neighbors to sponge up just a few of the sloshing export dollars.


Husbands second wives are only a boat ride away.

My taxi driver pumps the accelerateder as if it were double kicks on a base drum

If you want to protest your'll require a permit

I needed a permit to sleep in my hammock


Poor, time rich satellite suburb life

Or

Rich, time poor finance nine to fivers


A place for everyone

But a rising tide of inequality does not lift all boats

A fragility remains. Imported by the export economy


Singapore a dandelion upon global trade winds
