051510j Sok Sa Baidi(Cambodian) Poem by Manonton Dalan

early beneath coffee steam
douse with powdered cream
where smiles are freshly seen
greetings and handshakes;
dapping from other group
words are exchange the most

how are you comes naturally
responded, ignored or faint
it's reaching out to fellowmen
ah! enriching social ladders
easy to work with whom you
can talk to or trusted with info

***
sus lai=good morning
sok sa baidi= how are you
sok sa bai= i'm fine
