CHINATOWN

 

                                      After Polanski


When they ask what happened

to the boy you knew

tell them

this is Chinatown

 

And when they condemn the intrigue

and suspicion

the knife in my neighbour’s back

tell them

this is Chinatown

 

And tell them to watch out.

 

                          Pavlos Andronikos
