Chinese Market

Giant pig head
smile like buddha
to passers by

Toothless
old lady hawk
mountain herbs and spice

Fat man with strange tatoo
chew soy beans
and sip rice wine

Woman with jade ring
buy shark fin
then tell big lie

Housewife and merchant argue
as chicken gutted
on sight

Family burn
money as cock
roach scamper by

Forget sanitation -
enjoy flavor, atmosp
here, and p
rice!
