A snap from China.
-----------------
Beijing Hutongs

Gray dust
Over all the piles.
Food waste, snow,
Bikes & barrows.
No flies or smell !.

Wind chills'
No deterrent to sellers
Or window gazers.
The tourist shivers
Alienated by culture.

Shoes happily shine
Smiles warm,
The barterers laugh.
Do half hidden homes
Reflect the same?
