Goodnight Khao San Road

(Illustrated book coming this fall!! pre-order now at thejayluckclub@honeyroastedtshirts.com)

On Khao San Road
The bright lights glowed
Over shopkeepers
And adventure seekers--

And party-goers, awaiting a full moon

And there were three new travellers sitting on chairs

And a vendor selling fruit shakes
And another, banana pancakes

And a massage parlor
And a tattoo artist

A Sarong, some fresh fruit,
And a custom-tailored suit

A tuk-tuk driver and passenger
In a heated dispute

Goodnight road

Good night Moon
Good night party-goers waiting for the full moon,

Good night bright lights
Good night shop keepers and adventure seekers

Goodnight new travellers
Goodnight chairs

Good night fruit shakes
And goodnight pancakes

Goodnight fire jugglers
Goodnight drug smugglers

Goodnight souvenirs
Goodnight cheap and local beers

Goodnight sarong, goodnight fruit
Good night to the tailor still making my suit

Good night Tuk tuk drivers
Settling their fare dispute

Good night bars
Good night polluted air
Goodnight backpackers everywhere
