It's Lulu Island, the 26th of July of 2025. It begins as always—with sunlight glinting off sidewalks and the easy rhythm of habit. I walk to Tim Hortons, a modern pilgrimage. The oat-milk coffee, a small rite. Gary is there again—Gary the Cantonese, as I've come to call him in my inner haiku. We talk over steaming cups and breakfast sandwiches, meandering from Japan to Thailand to the war. I tell him: "One week Tokyo, one week Okinawa." He nods. We agree: the taste of a place is its soul. We smile at the thought of izakaya clamor and the smell of fish sauce. Then history unfolds like an old film reel. In the Philippines, my mother—a child—was given a toy chick by a Japanese soldier, who spoke of returning, of marriage. Gary speaks of rivers crossed under fear, in "Occupied Hong Kong" in the shadow of Empire. We don't mention everything. I don't mention my alternate histories—the Dai Tōa Kyōeiken, shimmering in some parallel world. The unspoken sometimes speaks loudest. Yesterday, the forest of South Arm Park. I wandered there in contemplative silence. A lone ice cream truck rolled by, blaring "Music Box Dancer"—a tune too cheerful for the tangle of emotion in my chest. / ice cream melody— / childhood ghosts stirring / in the shade of firs

呢個係2025年7月26號嘅露露島。佢一如既往噉開始 — — 陽光喺人行道上閃閃發光，同埋習慣嘅輕鬆節奏。我行去蒂姆霍頓，一個現代朝聖。燕麥奶咖啡，一個小儀式。 Gary 又喺返度 — 香港人 Gary ，我喺我內心嘅俳句入面叫佢嘅名。我哋喺蒸杯同早餐三文治嘅時候傾偈，由日本到泰國再到戰爭。我同佢講：「一個禮拜東京，一個禮拜沖繩。」佢點頭。我哋同意：一個地方嘅味道就係佢嘅靈魂。諗起居酒屋嘅喧囂同魚露嘅香味，我哋都會笑。然後歷史就好似舊電影卷軸噉展開。喺菲律賓，我阿媽 — 一個小朋友 — 由一個日本士兵送咗隻玩具小雞畀佢，佢講到返嚟，講到結婚。 Gary喺《被佔領嘅香港》入面，喺帝國嘅陰影下，講到喺恐懼之下渡過嘅河流。我哋唔會提所有嘢。我唔提我嘅替代歷史 — 大東亞京英拳，喺某個平行世界入面閃閃發光。未講嘅人有時會講得最大聲。琴日，南臂公園嘅森林。我喺嗰度沉思嘅沉默入面漫緊步。一架孤獨嘅雪糕車滾過嚟，喊住「音樂盒舞者」 — — 呢首歌對我胸口嘅情緒糾纏嚟講太開朗喇。 / 雪糕旋律 — / 童年鬼魂攪動 / 喺木杉嘅陰影下
