motorbikes

Over excited, skipped the days
before. 1, 2, 3,, hee-yah
motorbike ride through the
outskirts of the city. The
new over-eager guide who
saw the guerillas in the
war. French and Americans in the
bunkers overlooking the river.

The old lady at the rice
museum, the living exhibit.
And the paddy farming in
the blood.

Elephants winning fights in
the arena. Strength over
the sheer untame-ness of
the lions. The emperor
trying to survive.
