Blue Lotus

I sit by the river at 22:13
With the moon 3/5 full
And a swan graphically anchored
At my feet; in my ears
Multiple Portuguese dialects
Enter. Water taxi towards west
A scooter behind me towards east

If I'm witnessing a design unfolding
Then it's a little too scripted
For my taste. We all care about
Each other in this century, it seems
Yet still eat cows, and chicken, and fish

Tap-tap; pat-pat - the white dog
Searches for a convenient spot
Drags its owner along; it's so hot
And all the boats already passed
While lingering in a deeper indigo
