In this great big city
Where do you roam?
Had I met you somewhere before?
Did we
Cross paths, hours apart
From the same spot?
Perhaps you were here
Exactly here
Last evening
Where I sit now
At this spot
We saw the same Merlion
Spewing water to
A different crowd
The 'Durian'
Under a
Different light
Night and morning
Meets at the darkest point
At the beginning of
Daybreak.
I wonder
How they prepared for
The meeting
Or perhaps
It came so
N a t u r a l l y
That when it was time
They just -
Met.
