tourist attractions
I attempt a haiku as a response to each site that I have visited on this tiny island.
1. Aquarium on Sentosa Island
Flitting past humans Helmets glow and dance. No sun. Life beneath the waves
2. Mandai Zoo
Endless screams and shrieks Long arms – furry – swing past trees Orange men with tails
3. Singapore Flyer (something like a Ferris wheel)
What goes up, comes down After your uphill battles Let go and float free
4. Gardens By The Bay
The tigers are dead Now humans roast flesh of pigs Apex predators
5. Lau Pa Sat (Hokkien dialect for “Old Market”)
White, black, brown, yellow My faeces comes unbidden Your blood is red too
