Etiquette when leaving trains

In Melbourne: "Get f*** out of my way!"

In Singapore: Wait! Let me Come Out First!

OR

Don't Play, Play. Let me Come Out First!

Coffee

I Love the aroma of coffee
the roasted
the brewing
the coffee in a cup.

Dawn

Oh how I miss staring out
into the far
at dawn
waiting for the sun
to finally show its glory.

If you have a ship or yacht or a boat

Shadow

Everyone carries a SHADOW
and that I know
I am more curious
at how dark and dense
or
light and transparent
my shadow is
today
and anticipating tomorrow's.

Over the fence

Over the fence by Emily Dickinson

Over the fence --
Strawberries -- grow --
Over the fence --
I could climb -- if I tried, I know --
Berries are nice!

But -- if I stained my Apron --
God would certainly scold!
Oh, dear, -- I guess if He were a Boy --
He'd -- climb -- if He could!

and these views is another surprise,

Sunrise in Ali-shan

So remember Allah in the evening and the morning. To him is the praise in the Heavens and the Earth and in the Last hours and when it is noon. He bring forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living and He revives the earth after it is dead. And even so you shall be brought forth. (the Quran, 30:21)
