Penang
Although it's the same in many ways
It's different in small ways.
The beach mongrels have bobbed tails.
There's two Japanese girls
Wading in the shallow surf
Morosely staring at the offing.
The fishing skiffs, hauled above the tide line
Have sharply curved bows with scarlet trim.
Faintly the Muezzin's call to prayer
Drifts down from the village
Competing with the surf and
Rustling palms for my attention.
