Tay Ho

Thoughts that float through my mind each time I see an elderly person slowing cycling through the chaos of Tay Ho traffic, seemingly oblivious to the noise and movement around them.

Shiny, metal engines roar

Rusty, metal wheels creak

Racing through the boisterous metal river

Slowly, rhythmically weaving along dusty paths

Bright green, red and black helmets

Conical straw hats

Lurch here and there

Bounce from side to side

“Beep, beep” slices the grey air

“Ring, ring” gently floats through clear air

Helium-filled fluorescent shapes are tugged along Xuan Dieu

Brightly laden bicycles slowly weave until they find a space in the shade of a tree.
