Americano





Americano

Compressed by crowds
on a National holiday.
walking the Bund, like
a straight jacket,
stifles movement.
Infinite humanity
Along Nanjing Road
The only reprieve,
Escape to a cafe
to order an Americano.
Sit and watch the human
tide flow
like the dark Huangpu River
edging to the sea.
