Vietnamese Market

Hot and stuffy
Sweating under my silicon hat
People offering me sunglasses
The sweet, delicious mangosteen in my mouth
Dried mango on shelves
What am I going to buy?
Why am I here?
Bowls of steaming Pho everywhere
“Buy this,” they yell
The coconut heavy in my arms
Lots of yummy fruit juices everywhere
Temperature rising to 32
Then back into the burning sunlight
