8D7N All Taiwan -What I really got out of it

The areca clad hills scrolling past the windows
 
 The marbled gorge
 
 The fertile land
 
 We can’t own it

Nor even the hours
 
 Half drugged on tour guide prattle

Haggling and buying
 
 Clicking away
 
 We pass time
 
 Otherwise wasted
 
 Gathering images, tastes, pumpkin seed biscuits, pineapple tarts,
 
 Bean cakes already mouldy…

What’s really ours?

The alley in moonlight your hand in mine
 
 A shared bowl of dumplings sticky and sweet
 
 A ying-yang ocean seen through the mist
