the world's longest-reigning monarch.
In the market place
the rails are awash
with black. They knew
this day would come.
The 7 Eleven store
has a No Sale sign
on the beer fridge door
but Coca-Cola is OK.
An eatery discretely serves
a Chang Classic
to a solitary Farang
who updates his travel blog
before a slow walk
back to his room.
On the footbridge,
a young woman
a few coins in a plastic cup.
Her infant looks out
at the traffic below,
child of a new reign.
