ghost tower - original poem

 

ghost tower

it's a ghost tower
in the center of the city
paranormal
Taiwanese shrines
shining through the
elm green ferns
and subtle vegetables
growing and hugging
the earth sunken
with spiritual owings
follow me
on his tuk tuk
through the dirty
shallow Bangkok streets
ascending
through a fever dream
spooked
by our drivers
crazed
laughable stride
following us
in the alleyway
community
why's he coming at us?
why's he moving like that?
I'm awfully frightened
Scooby-Doo zoinked
but I'm ready to break in?
and escape from
your zombie dance moves
I'm going all the way to the top
despite your warns
I'm hopping on your tuk tuk
I'm jumping the fence
lets go escape this mess
and climb the ghost tower
in the center of town
totally spooked
