Businessman Crossing Rain Puddle Art

Businessman crossing rain puddle
Wing Sun is a 10 year old Malaysian boy. We see him from the back as he stands, looking down the street in the evening. The scent of mooncakes and burning lantern oil fills the air in the street in Petaling Jaya where Wing Sun lives.  Everything is aglow with the soft light of lanterns, their colors reflected in the puddles left by the afternoon rain.  At least 6 vendors have pulled their carts up onto the sidewalks on both sides of the street, selling moon pies and other special treats.  
Several of Wing-Sun's neighborhood friends, some younger than he and some a little older, were standing around in a circle, waiting for him to come outside.
Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  Nearer to the city now, the bus thumps and bumps to a slower pace.
Grinding gears mark spaces between dirty children, playing obliviously in the road.
Neither village nor metropolis, outskirts have no identity:
Just a blurry line of encroachment;
a temporary half-life on the way to something more.

Dust springs up from the tires of trucks headed both ways on the road.
A little girl stands crying in a mud puddle; her brothers laughing from the sides.
She has to learn rejection to participate in this brutal, belonging dance.
A little life, and a little death
for a product truly worthy of its name: a good woman is hard to find.

At his Grandmother's house in Penang, Wing Sun is lying down on a futon in his bedroom, covered up with a beautiful lightweight quilt Grandma made.  Outside his room the rain is coming down.  In Penang, every corner of the old town—every whisper of the wind through ancient trees—seems to echo with promises of renewal and love. And as the rain softens outside, Wing-Sun closes his eyes with the comforting knowledge that every detour, every farewell, is simply a step toward a new beginning.  A lantern gives soft light to the room, and all is quiet.

Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  This morning the sound of traffic in the street, 
scooters and tuk-tuks, taxis and trucks, was so loud I couldn’t hear my dream.  
So I turned it off and went dowstairs.
Taking in diesel fumes ‘til it hurt to breathe, I found a hawker-stall and ate.
It’s 100 degrees already; soon the rain will come.
Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  Afternoon rain forces us into the coolness of the little house, surrounded by rice paddies, 
where Grandmother assembles strings of Christmas lights; bound for somewhere.
Young mother watches three children grow,
and wonders:  What will their lives be?
Can’t dream of what she’s never seen; can’t see what she can’t dream.

Funny yet eerie gift portrait: a smug cartoonish blue-tinted fleagle (flying eagle-beagle hybrid creature) breaking free from a comically oversized birdcage labeled 'Materialism & Elite Control', wearing tiny sunglasses and a 'Wake Up Sheeple' t-shirt, shattering holographic chains with laser eyes, confetti of red pills raining down, vibrant pop-surrealism style like a mix of Ralph Steadman and modern meme art, bold colors, humorous but with dark undertones
