Odes to Taiwan!

Currently, I inhabit a place.
Where deep blue night skies are starless.
Mosquitoes aboundless
where the heat is finally tolerable.
Where poor overly dressed dogs.
May find some relief.

Children run and play.
Men smoke everywhere.
The old ones like to croak and spit phlegm.
I even saw one spit phlegm indoors.

I don't understand their hygiene.

Doesn't help that  I have not lived in a city before.

Let alone a foreign one.

I live in a box that naturally self heats.
I sweat excessively.
My skin protests, manifesting unattractive red bumps.

I miss moderate California weather.

Scantily clad Nokia girl.
Did you steal or borrow the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders outfit.
Your enthusiasm is bewildering to me.
Are you under the influence.
Of incentives or drugs?

Anyways, thanks for the pen and tissue paper gifts.
Go Nokia!
