===> HK, 1989

Brother asleep, the cabin dimmed, the gift bag, the gifts, the armrest, its notchy dial, the stations, the sun setting, the waves lapping, the balm of a bleep. Shaking asleep, with the sense that the paddles are switched by the ground marshaler and joss sticks waved, smoking upwards, where we will coil to the clouds. The hands on my watch glow in the dark and I refer to them now, they are a secret, they tell me nothing, I'm time zoning out, my watch, my company.
