I've had just enough time to... ponder on how many bags to carry -
Taken in the wholesale market in Myanmar where this is a common sight...
Stacking bags as high as they could to save a trip...
Sometimes, that did not paid off and everything comes tumbling down...
A bag
more or a bag less
It is
hard to know
The
difference that will make
Experience
may help
Or lead
us astray
When the
scenery’s the same
But the
terrain differs
An extra
bag may carry us
To our
destination
Or
exhaust us
Along
the way
With their combined weight, they tried to upright the cart...
But it was not enough...
I looked
up at the weather
Then
search my strength
Take on
that extra bag
And pray
–
I do not
stumble along the way…
So they have to un-load and re-stack them all again...
