When you get back,
Melbourne seems slack,
quiet, small, slow,
no get-up-and-go.
Just as well -
three weeks in Seoul,
and its city smog
was in my lungs -
our winter fog
only hangs
here till noon.
Then crisp sun
shines through clear air
and I'm glad to be here
rather than in Korea
when the monsoon
is coming on
and umbrellas
(against showers)
replace parasols
(against sudden swoon-
ing at the sunstroke of noon).
