trolley dodgem hell
the quick, the dead, the hungry
tackle that waitress!
two plates of ha gao!
white pepper for the congee!
sticky rice with pork!
over pu-erh tea
we sit, survey the wreckage
Shaojie, maidan!

oh, that hurried pace
a glimpse of earthly pickings
but what for the soul

Place population
In the steamers, feed to plants
Makes more sense this way

delicate small mounds
topped with tasty brown mushrooms
nipples or dim sum?

Hey Boys and Girls, I couldn't find a decent picture of a bird-cage teahouse. I intended to grab a frame from Hard Boiled starring Chow Yun Fat which opens with the famous bird-cage teahouse massacre, but discovered that in spite of having twenty Chow Yun Fat DVD's Hard Boiled isn't one of them.
But never mind, here's an excellent picture of a yum-cha restaurant (or, as the rest of the world calls it, dim-sum). For anyone who has never eaten dim-sum don't bother reading any further - just rush out now and go straight to the nearest dim-sum restaurant. If it isn't open camp outside until it is. And if there aren't any dim-sum restaurants where you live, if you go to the nearest airport and fly to Hong Kong you should be able to find one.
As for last week, John popped in right at the end with a cracker and nabbed the prized top spot. And Other John, I liked yours a lot and put it in at the prized end spot. I hope you don't mind but I took a liberty and gave it a bit of a swizzle on account of wanting to see Fuji and san together (that being the name of the mountain). If that makes you unhappy tell me and I'll put it back again.

the editing is fine, sans the apostrophe in sans.
it was quite the picture last week, thus the strange haiku with the play on words that sound the same yet all fit my interpretation of the painting.
