    China Chen

    Simplicity itself.
    The broth.
    The chicken.
    The brown noodles.
    What am I supposed to do with the scissors?

    These light rail busses give new meaning to the term “see-through.” Why do they run them when nobody’s in them?

    Back after 11 years

    First: thanks for the site, my mom told me about it. It’s touching.

    Here’s my submission:

    The walk downtown seems the same
    The planes, the park, the jacaranda
    The not-quite-filled in quality i came to miss.
    You can be anonymous here.
    Susie wanted to go into the Hedley Room
    So we did, and when we talked about those times
    Everyone was awkward because there was a name we couldn’t mention
    What a surprise: You still hurt me so.

    There’s one dead leaf from last year hanging out on my Chinese Pistachio. One hopeless romantic who thinks: if I just hang on a little longer he’ll change his mind!

    Lunch at the bar at Original Joe’s
    But, please believe me! only because the counter was full.
    Goodness: baseball again.
    My heart quickens and I think about Timmy.
    GO GIANTS!

    London memory
    Why is it that I remember being able to see into people’s flats at nighttime when walking by:
    making dinner, eating dinner, watching TV
    But here, the lights seems never on as you stroll by.

    Another London memory

    Waiting for Caltrain at Diridon
    I expect the soft breeze of the Tube as the train comes in, but I remember I’m here, not there. The soft breeze from the mountains comes in insteand.

    Revisitingt Cinebar after 11 years is like tuning into a pirate radio station broadcast coming from the capital of a lost republic.

  9. After seeing a movie at the Centuries and eating dinner at Flames on Winchester says:

    A baseball game
    A musical
    A mall
    A coffeeshop
    A movie
    A parking lot
    Is it ok to like American things yet?

    I have one week before my job starts.
    Not working on a sunny afternoon.
    A matinee? A game on the tv? A nap?
    Instead I bike through Naglee Park.
    Nicer than I remember.
    And, astonishingly, completely saved from the ravages of the 60s onward.
    I bow to ye homeowners.

    Today, I dedicate myself to being mindful of the muzak i hear around me. Paseo San Antonio: Ella’s Old Devil Moon.
