.
They struck night out of the car air
against our trip back from Bangsar
conversation rocked to a stop
impossible in vertical in person
straight up eye to eye
and I
finally got it...
skyscraper cum temples
hideously wonderful
twin tower money minarets
beacons for eastern petrol barons
The Petronas Towers
may be the most beautiful things
I barely saw
before being swallowed again
by a greedy and eager
underling skyline.
Those two,
they teased emerald
stood obstinate
and like another and next-best irony~
that you can't see Everest
from its first base camp
they disappeared behind lesser peaks,
office blocked.
Went back looking around Kuala Lumpur
tonight
and couldn't find them hiding anywhere
funnier for the fact
that,
from what I remember,
they didn't strike me
vivid-rigid
austere-elegant
compulsive-obnoxious
like European super model
twins
as the sort of sight
that would care
to hide itself away from you.
