beneath
the green and glinted
   city sea,
 sits
a small and white
  coffee shop
  (a shell-shaped
hourglass),
   time
   being
   distilled

outside
(oh) the little glass
   time box,
colorful fishes
(big buses, small cars)
    are obliviously
      swimming
   around

   above,
       long golden
     sun’s legs
  stride across the
singing surface of sea
(giant& billowing
     waves
      of summer foliage),
    marching
     westwards
This poem was created to sing for the city I reside— Hangzhou, China, and my favorite coffee shop there called 35mm. If any of you have a chance to visit Hangzhou in a future day, do let me know and I will be happy to be your tour guide😊
