They came to me this morning
the three binti of warm enthusiasm, innocence
9 30 am
Jia En, Cher Yen, Chiao Yee
plonking in contentment on the new rattan sofa here
in t shirt of picture, half jeans, leg bare
of pretty thirteen year elegance
of pretty thirteen year elegance
we talked about the weekend, what they did, where they went
complete book 9b
I told them about employment, employer, employee,
retirement, part of the PMR book, 10/10 question correct
their car here not on time,
they wait on the sofa now,
chatting in quiet, inconsequential way;
Jia En,
before walking one hundred meter to home,
to practice piano, here squatting, examining,
analyzing a potted group of plant
Cher Yen,
off to Kuala Lumpur,
told to keep eye open, take in the technology,
geography of the trip
Chiao Yee,
epitome of enjoyment of jelly, cup cake,
came back from car
informing me her brother won’t come tomorrow
bye to them, a trio happy,
clean, polite, interesting,
pity there are three of them…
rain coming on, with mega-power 22 30, bringing a memory back
