MALAGA MAI SAVAII
Passengers on life’s journey
Together randomly
A small ferry; a rainy day
People coming home; going away
Rank and status thrown to the wind
Smells of the sea, bodies, diesel
Blended like the pasese
Rich, poor, young, old
Weak, strong, happy, sad
Bounced by swells and waves
Wrapped in colorful lavalava
Unafraid of the next surge
Undisturbed by the greys of reality
Stormy seas, relentless rain
Bodies rearranged carefreely
Seeking a space, shelter
Respite from the gales
Ready to move en masse
From boat to bus
On the journey of the day
