Uncle Sum
Uncle Sum
Within and without his unreal estate of mind, Uncle Sum was once beaten to silliness, his face deeply cut in the shape of a sickle, with which I harvested rice as a truant little boy in Nan On Village outskirts in the autumn rice paddies. Locusts will not wait.
In the Canton flat, Uncle would sit in deep silence before walking and kicking his leg into the thin air. It was summer and the sunshine was honey on the black tar of the streets. Here he is pushed into the bamboo armchair because of a bad leg. Later we knew it was diabetes.
He told me never to play shallow, yet deep waters contain fish they cannot leave. Such is the oppression of the natural world. Kafka’s father, another Kafka, had sentenced his son to death by drowning.
Uncle Sum later lived on Chek Kai Island off the coast of Guangdong Province, which was abstemious enough not on any map.
He stared half a day into the ocean. This considerably enlarged his mind – the unreal estate of poetry.

The Chinese Mafia
They are surnamed "Ma." They engaged in rape, murder, plunder, but they offer "protection." Money is their ultimate aim. They may smile and shake hands and pat you on the back, all the while coveting your wallet. Once they stripped you of everything, they offer to lend you money. The next game is activated. While you gamble and whore around, they shark you to death!!!
