Raining on Orchard Road


Though an alien to Singapore weather,
I went ahead like other tourists

to Orchard Road, pretending to rush
to dinner and meet a friend,

while everyone else hurried to MRT
or a bus terminal as the rain poured.

I crossed Orchard Road in the rain
without my rain coat, left behind

like someone I wished
should have been here.
