4/5/10 10:48 pm - NaPoWriMo better late than neverEaster Sunday in Phuket, Thailand It is Easter Sunday in Phuket, Thailand but no one cares about the hotel’s brunch where the only pastel eggs on Patong Beach can be found. The potatoes slowly dry out on top, the juice congealing around them as with the pork chops waiting in warmers for foreign tourists who won’t be bothered to feast at the cost of ceding coveted poolside chaises or foregoing diving expeditions and elephant treks by the beach town swallowed in tsunami just five years before, according to the guided tour of ruble plotted along a 120-minute circuit left unrepaired to make us all witnesses on this mornings such as this when oh, how the Indian Ocean waves wave upon wave pearls of iridescent foam toward sand-tossed sidewalks along the shore as if professing absolution in battering the city now resurrected, but scarred. |
