Place poetry

Place poetry
I remember
Blk 176 Ang Mo Kio Ave 4
Neighbours who were friends
Still meet up now years later
At weddings
At celebrations of birth
Blk 176
Playground below
Friends – older kids and younger kids
Santhosh, Santhiah
Tharini Gokul
Visu Nimal
Karthik Ramana
Danny Anand
Two child policy very much in practice!
Catherine Aunty and … Uncle
Indra Aunty
A world, a world
A world of Singaporeans who were once foreigners

You ask me to write a poem about a place
I can only write about a place through its people
