A while ago

Sitting by the Victory Monument

Sit flat in Lumphini

Sit it out through the years.

Time goes in circles isn’t straight

goes round, weaves back around.

And I’ll sit still

Sit with the same things

Sit at the same times

whilst the crowd keeps on coming,

it just keeps on coming.

I’m a hewn block of stone

ageing but ageless

spores on a tree bark

and there is so much time,

time still to come and all the time

that has passed.

But here am I ageing

and the crowd keeps on coming,

I’m ageing but ageless.
