    The narrator greets summer and describes scenes of people by the waterfront enjoying sushi, tempura, and navigating their dreams and desires. The passage reflects on using the undiluted haze as an opportunity for self-interrogation and finding answers, but also acknowledges that people often prefer distraction to grappling with what they learn about themselves. In the end, the narrator is left wondering what to do with the answers and with the person they are addressing.

    M ATTHEW L EE

    Gonbanwha, the extemporaneous extratemporal narrator

    greets summer – sushi & tempura @ the waterfront, where wayfarers wade

    through the warm miasma, emulsified indifference, & colorblind dreams

    of glittering glory gleaming gold, straddling the scalloped oceanic divide

    between I want & I want to want.

    And it is in that undiluted heterogeneous haze one has the opportunity

    to interrogate oneself, and, if one is patient but forceful, answer

    one’s own questions. Yet,

    we begin to squirm & scratch under an unblinking eye,

    we yearn for and thus escape – distraction is our savior,

    our protector, and our demise. To be continually in search of answers

    is far easier than figuring out what to do with them.

    With you.
