HONG KONG ZOOMED ME

HONG KONG ZOOMED ME

Hong Kong zoomed me
loaded with questions
about my
Viking heritage

don’t know
if I waxed lyrical

don’t know
if I spilled the beans
since we
are old friends,
philosophically cannot
say we
chatted like
old friends

jabbering, joking,
exploring the very
concepts of
difference, sameness,
myth, reality
and construction
of identity

a dragonship longboat
out there sliding up
the river
as requested

what is Viking within me
having first
claim on my soul

Hong Kong zoomed me
questions seeking
me out
finding acceptable answers.
