" chun ja bpai Pattaya, bpai tum mai, kor mai roo "

---

the sounds of near shores gently
lick the insides of my ears.

the looming night envelops the fleeting day, and the rain falls lovingly onto the earth below.

a far off digitally filtered siren
coos into my welcoming ears,

but instead of hearing her
in her true nature,
she's being filtered through a cellular phone.

the voice on the other end
beckons me to come out to the beach,
to swim, to be with her.

and what can i do,
but tell her that i miss her, and there's a 23% chance i can see her tomorrow?

life is funny that way.
