the ferry terminal 2


The ferry terminal
The people mingle around
The night stars shining
The bright lights blossom

The shopping stalls
The needs for tourists and locals
The taxi drivers and illegal operators
They hang around to pick up passegers

The fast food outlets
The ice cream parlour
The sundry shops abound
The convenience for the people

The man with his small beg on his shoulder
He moves to the fast food outlet ordering his drink
Taking a slow sip eyes peeling the crowd
He can't see anybody he knows..

The ferry boat arrive
Anchoring at the ferry terminal
The locals and tourists landed
Walking briskly to the arrival hall

The man looks up
His eyes surveying the crowd
The taxi and illegal drivers
Pestering for their services

The man gets up and stand around
Looking for the woman he hopes she will come
The same action and routines in his mind
She will not come for him when the night sleeps
