singapore in canon

after some much needed rest

(to cure jetlag and the flu i caught)

the world traveler inside me insisted i reexamine 

my initial conclusion:

the iphone singapore is a tourist singapore

it snaps for aesthetics alone

whereas the canon singapore delves into the heart of the country

to the cooks preparing a sunrise meal,

to backgammon players in the sweltering heat,

to girls young in body and young in heart,

and to an Asia-born American who recalled what home tasted like.
