Ang Mo Kio Blk 424

Are there really
400-odd other blocks like this,
with the same
speckled green stone Chinese chess table,
flowery wrought iron benches,
earthy ceramic tiles and
solitary otah stand?

Maybe yes,
and that would make me happy,
because special spaces
do not need to be unique.

Or perhaps not,
and that wouldn’t be too bad either,
for uniqueness can be
for all to share.
