How can one feel comfortable in a cyclo?
How can one feel comfortable in a cyclo when those that drive them are often doctors, lawyers, artists that lost their citizenship during the war. ‘Reeducation’, it is a hot word. How long have you been driving this? Twelve years, sixteen. Doctors in Australia don’t like me because I forget to go to them and if I do, don’t listen to their advice. The doctor behind me has legs like elastic as he pushes my weight desperately down and then up the hill.
A woman selling bread who blushes
A woman selling bread who blushes. A woman frying rice cakes who frowns. They are for Tet but she goes at it all year round. Half a piece costs about 50 cents and I eat it squatting on a little plastic kids’ seat as the morning beeps and shatters around us. I have been crying – my face is stained against my skin.
The people at the balcony table holding hands
The people at the balcony table holding hands obviously love jutting out onto the street. At every hotel, at every restaurant it’s a scramble for the balcony and why? Because Hanoi, for all its beeping and toothy dogs and people selling and buying and odd smells rising from the pavement and rats climbing the walls and sweating and bad toothed wonder, is beautiful to hover above.
Realising that you’ve ordered the fiery pot of embers set on a wooden platform.
Realising that (I’ve) ordered the fiery pot of embers set on a wooden platform. And the fish wrapped in a banana leaf charred to its death. And hot tea with ice cubes melting at a burning pace with sweetened condensed milk lining the bottom. And a plate of spotty fruit. And that I have had about two hours alone in the last weeks. And that in those moments I smelled and saw and tasted as much as I could. And that I was a dog in my country (not the ones here, there roam and smell and bark and lay hot on the corners), who had escaped, knowing that I could go back, safely, any moment. Warm in the yard.
Later, remembering
Later, remembering, I will see my self happy. I will recall the blind masseuse shouting ‘take off your clothes!’ and then pummeling my back for an hour. I will tell people about the boat and the 2000 islands rising from the salt. I will say, yes it was good. But remembering this feeling, as it fades in the summer and drowns in Melbourne’s smell…? (back at home the garden has grown, the cat is thinner, the people in the streets smile - I don’t remember that, I pass out in the evenings and wake with the sun, I enjoy hot, milky tea.)
After sex
After sex we lay pleased with ourselves on the top floor of a hotel in Saigon. Did you like that? Did you? And then we fell to sleep and I dreamed that I didn’t know who or where I was.
