Drinking Chang Beer ...

Richard's drinking Chang Beer in the Hotel Leo - 

Banana trees shade the garden - 

Richard says the hotel has seen better days - 

I imagine a simply furnished room -

A rattan chair faces the window - 

Beyond the hotel, Toyotas purr in the boulevards - 

Across the border, beyond the river, the people are wearing black - 

Richard lies upon the bed -  

He remembers Zanzibar, the gecko, another slowly turning fan -
