Photograph taken at Don Mueang Temple in the north Bangkok suburbs, features waterlilies in the fore and guardian statues in the background.

 doesn't know how very silly
 a bantam taller than a ram
 seems to a ram tall as a filly.

some swear guardians
 come to life -- dancing through

 but only Autumn nights, and
 after a calabash of wine.
