Foreign embassies
the wiry militant arm of a doormana white middle-eastern man, like a snowball
spaceship-foreign embassies
foreign embassies, each like a stranger
an impersonal suvarnabhumi international airport
a white middle-eastern man, like the surface of a porcelain
the sturdy design of a bangkok post
foreign embassies, each like a spaceship
an impersonal suvarnabhumi international airport
stranger-foreign embassies
the stout engineering of a bangkok post
a white middle-eastern man, like the skin of an earthenware

It was generally a bad news day. I read a story in the Guardian entitled: “Thai police hunt second bomb plot suspect in Bangkok”. It talked of suspected bomb plotters, Lebanese men and travel alerts. Apparently, “Sketches released late on Friday night by Thai police showed the suspect as a white Middle-Eastern man with short hair and stubble, around 1.8m (5ft 9in) tall”. Itʼs a serious story, but I have concentrated on flourishes today. I wrote this poem.
