Chinatown, Bangkok

March 05, 2020 in Thailand

ASYMMETRY

 

Everything’s slightly off.

Neurasthenic hours.

For months the firmest of acts refuse
to keep still, unspooling from me
at low frequencies.

It’s only when I scour the ground
nose slanted in the dirt
that I spot an open parenthesis.

I pluck it out with my teeth.
Careful not to undo
that knotted eye of beginnings.

Now I proceed through my days with caution.

Not knowing when this aside I live out will close.

—- Jenny Xie
