Hide and Seek

Now you see them now you don't

Illegal Street Stalls everywhere

Then so quickly disappear

As the police look for their permits

Word spreads down the line

They fold up and pack away

Stand around next to their wears and chairs

Just as quickly they set back up

This nightly game is just a part

Of the Shih Ling Night Market life.
