she loved me for a matter of seconds
but her affair with the monks promises
to be a lifelong obsession hey that hurts—
right there doc can you lance jab pop it
cut it out? look at this it's a postcard
she sent me—monks! you think that's
trivial? wait till you see the photos!
monks on bicycles monks on chao phraya
river express ferry monks carrying food
bowls happy monks monks sitting on the
'reserved for the monk' bench in hualam-
phong railway station monks watching tv
monks patting mutant temple dogs & monks
hanging out—oh to be a monk!
                  
                                         —ouch!
