Fraser River - misty, swathed in cloud
Incoming ships sound foghorns loud
I see a bird or two swoop low,
Along the dyke, dog walkers go.
A rosy pink sky meets my gaze
Yes, jetlag has
a magic phase;
This topsy-turvy scene invites
A new perspective of delights!
The change of hour is extreme
My body feels lost in a dream …
When to get up? When to eat?
Out of step - with happy feet!
At Farmers Market, fruit piled high;
Bins of apples catch my eye;
The Fraser Valley proud to be
A fertile plain quite condo-free!
Walmart, where most locals shop,
Had an almost empty parking lot ...
Closed sans warning? Shock to all!
Hence Hobson’s choice was Richmond Mall.
Their food court had an Asian feel;
Gold ornate jewellery looked surreal
In brightly lit, garish displays;
So much to look at and amaze …
