Barbara Temperton #23 - Cruising VII: Swimming in Cambodia - Part III Treading Water

   We’re waiting to board our bus –

my wet bathers are rolled up

in my towel in a plastic shopping bag –

   when one of the pretty-green rocks

   we’d peered at whilst treading water

during our cooling down swim

   washes ashore, identifying itself, finally, 

   as a green plastic shopping bag.
