\ncut from the alluvial plain buoying up Shaanxi Nan Lu
\non a Thursday evening buying Sichuan pepper peanuts
\nand two tall Super \u201cDry\u201d Asahi silver cans. \u201cKARAKUCHI.\u201d
\nI am APAC and graying temples in Uniqlo Heattech\u2122
\nraw cashews and roasted pumpkin seeds shrunk-wrapped
\nin celadon flex-Styrofoam beds with the smell of lice shampoo
\nin the makeshift bathroom of the makeshift half Deco house
\nmade & shifted before the war and after, wafting in with flower
\nmarkets blooming round and all the people feeling capital
\nthe traffic lights through warped French windows counting
\ndown, a bird today, it\u2019s possible, in a cage singing, talking,
\njoking with old men smoking, I am on the Metro headed
\nhome from Shanghai\u2019s transit well, the old railway station, I am
\nstuck in traffic near the mudflats by the river, I am yet
\nhowever still, tattooless, in fleece, and feeling newly brave<\/p>\n
