The Face-Off

We saw each other -
As she stood at the top of the stairs
With her ears flopping in the sea breeze
And I on my way up the stairs with my washed clothes;

We both stopped in our tracks and looked
Straight at each others’ eyes for a while
Trying to decipher each other's thoughts;

Snoopy and I
Two women with arthritis and brown skin
Dachshund and Human.

Asian Traffic Rules

You creep
They honk
They speed;

You creep
They honk
They swerve;

One stops
Others stop
You go.
