I step outside and the air grabs me.
I step outside and the air grabs me.
It is full of hot oil and spices.
It is full of hot oil and spices.
My tired feet wake up at once.
My tired feet wake up at once.
I follow the smell like a thread.

Each corner offers a new fire.
Each corner offers a new fire.
I stop at a cart with a red glow.

The vendor smiles and points at his pan.

I do not know what I ordered.
I do not know what I ordered.
But my stomach says it is right.
But my stomach says it is right.
I eat fast, standing in the road.
I eat fast, standing in the road.
This night is not for waiting.
This night is not for waiting.
It is for grabbing and tasting.
