In the streets of an unfamiliar land,
while the gang was bargaining
strategically with calculators
and warm gracious smiles,
I felt my stomach rumble

Not wanting to
distract them
from their merry-making,
I thought I would and could endure
(after all, I was army-trained)

Until my face contorted
into a strange mixture
of agony, wimpy grins
and an act-tough noncommittal look

and I wabbled out
from the shop,
doing a mean impersonation
of Donald Duck

the first word you have
to learn in a foreign land is "toilet"
but i guess my linguistic lapse
was compensated by my frantic dashing
to the backs of shops and
leaving abruptly for the next

while my poor companion tried to
catch up and enlighten the bemused

some angels finally gave directions
and i wobbled and wabbled my way
to the bowl~my saviour,
trying not to exert too much energy
in case.....(you know)

i kept my head down
for the rest of the night
