Riyadh
The city of dust
in sepia colours
the same as the past –
Will all of this last
or gets rebuild and khalas?
Wade Evans road dividers
build nets like a spider
and drive you around
though traffic lock down,
with cars full of scratches
your journey here stretches
into hours of wait,
you’ll be just a little bit late,
but nobody minds it,
Middle Eastern time zone
the concept of time here
runs slower than home…
inshallah we will work it
inshallah we’ll see
a little bit messy but that’s the way it has to be.
Welcome to Saudi Arabia ❤
