It's Cool Under the Highway

Under the T-shaped Sosrobahu pillars
Grey now brown like the skin
Of people taking shelter under it.
A worker in his YMCA helmet his
Girlfriend sit cross-legged
Under a giant Samsung DigitAll
Temptation poster. AllDigit Temptation!
Two workers sleep cross
Arms under heads for pillows
Their white helmets
Like two bleached tortoise shells
Covering their faces
From the glare of the sky.
The sky. Long white-brown lines
Between two grey-brown lines:
Bogor or Grogol. Of a sort
Of nondescript colour. An absence
Of. As if all the colourists at
Pantone had suddenly gone
Colour blind.
