Mata terkulai sarat dengan mimpi
Angin dingin tempat duduk yang lembap
Seekor lipas tersidai di rangka kerusi
Merenung bingkai yang basah dan berabuk
Seseorang melalui persimpangan harian
Paya Lebar menuju ke Kallang
Pelbagai lorong membuka ceritera
Terburai dari perut Asia
Dihasilkan seiringan dengan rintihan Geylang
Malam panas berbahang, tatasusila dipertaruhkan
Kedai kopi mula ribut
Telur setengah masak dan roti bakar
Ban hangat dan mi cendawan
Nafas yang cepat dan berat
Di tengah-tengah hamparan sampah
Rumah urut dibuka semula pada jam sebelas
Rumah pelacuran perlu rehat juga
Masjid dan kuil menjadi saksi
Negara-negara berdolak-dalik di kiosk Hi-card
Rokok haram bertukar tangan
Bayang-bayang di depan kedai runcit
Bergegas untuk naik bas
Bau Tsingtao basi
Bau busuk nikotin, gigi tidak diberus
Kari dal dan prata panas
Kopi harum untuk sarapan
Campur dengan bau peluh badan
Korek hidup dan telinga
Lap daki pada seluar ronyok
Berpusu ke depan
Enggan gerak ke belakang
Mata merah mengawasi ruang
Aroma asing mengisi udara
Ramai tidak dibenarkan masuk
Terlalu ramai di dalam
Perjalanan sempit terhenti
Udara pengap dan memabukkan
Drebar tempatan lewat mengikut jadual
Impian dan rancangan tergendala
Bangun, marah
‘Hey, ke belakang!’
‘Ke belakang! Ke belakang!’
