WEATHER

When it rains

It really pours

Running monsoon-like

Down overflowing gutters

To the sea

And everyone shelters

In a coffee shop -

Torrential rain as business boon.

IMMIGRANTS

It seems the Chinese

Run everything

Politely taking money

Serving superb flat whites

And on the streets

Half of all young people

Neither Maori nor white

Drive economic miracles

Each day - I wonder why

My fellow Brits can't see

So many of our immigrants

Are doing the same for us.

Appo Hocton, 1876 (FROM W.E..Brown Collection) as featured in the ‘Being Chinese In Aotearoa’ exhibition at the Auckland War Memorial Museum.
