In the Middle of Prapinoon


In the middle of Prapinoon
I saw people smile
For they earned one day off and
they were safe.

In the middle of Prapinoon,
Radio and TV tuned on high key,
The cross-sea tunnel and the island jammed, excited

I missed you - some memory of past typhoons -
In the middle of Prapinoon

In the middle of Prapinoon
You swirled in my peaceful sleep
When Prapinoon swirled the world

In the middle of Prapinoon
Some surfer braved the wave
Some got blocked on internet rave

In the aftermath of Prapinoon, the Thai rain god
Five deaths were reported in South China,
plus some temporary cooldown .


(Afterwords: Prapinoon swept over S. China on 3 August, 2006, typhoon signal no. 8 in HK, Mo, GD.)
