Delusion and hypocrisy - you few could do with a VISIT/wind down here...
Poem 25 of 230: UBUD
At Bali's Ubud,
I wound myself down:
Having done Asia,
It was just the town -
Before Australia
And work to be found.
Staying in a hut
(Traditional 'twas),
Beside rice paddies,
And just eight dollars,
My mind was at ease -
Calm like a scholar's.
I read and I mused
Over where I'd been;
Saw Monkey Jungle,
Which is cool and green;
And, from a bundle,
Chose an artist's seen.
At night, a gecko -
Friendly, on the wall;
By day, a farmer -
At his rice-toil;
And, always, culture -
Ubud's worth a call.
