Return to Ermita


Return to Ermita

Buying cheap shite from the cheap
      Shite man
Walking past the dog crap and nasty gaping cracks
Knocking back the San Mig fallen off his
      Cebu van
Past the muggers alley where the kids get smac

I enter the smokey bar where pretty heads turn
      Like owls
Where night and day blares out  thumping rock ‘n roll
And the queer masseur applies dampened
      Neck towels
I watch as my last pesos pay for her gas, or was it coal ?
