Copenhagen Summer

Copenhagen Summer


Worlds of fauna and flora 

could not rival that Copenhagen summer 

when the green-eyed poet seized you and

found you breathless after 


you circumnavigate high above nations' edge 

while she courses through deep ravines of your mind

like vine upon a wall 

she binds, she binds, she binds


I was told you spoke of Molière

through Belgian block alleyways by her side

if the heavens would fall then

she would never know how you cower in the light 


Amidst these tempestuous and violent years

Do you still extend your hand to the white cedar's branch?

If you do, all the clouds would burst and

all my feelings avalanche.

A year, introspectively summarized

               A year, introspectively summarized      A primal and gravitational feeling is the feeling of belonging--- though the whole sense of "purpose" is artificial, defined deliberately by people who want others to emulate them. Emulation stunts creativity, just as the proclivity to belong stunts agency. I am delighted by the platform that I am given to practice my agentic self, now and continuously onward.       There will be a time when t he basis of your understanding, you learn, was fabricated---even some of your strongest beliefs need reinterpretation, the very framework under which you operate proves inflexible and restrictive. Perhaps the best remediation strategy then is desensitization of the action-oriented part of your mind. You must compromise scaling for precision.       In January, I wrangled with partial differential equations and AI Safety fundamentals course with BlueDo...

True scholars prefer the clandestine accommodations of secluded chateaux to the ostentatious finance and interlocking corporate consortium They indulge in ambrosia-glazed idols in a Bayreuth opera house And vials with oil of brazilwood, distilled Amazon dew, creme de Java  And I could fill the days with flame-kissed roses, powdered saltwater pearls, essence of lilac---  half-heartedly allude to commentaries that blend in with volumes of Penrose's crowds Revert disillusioned nebulous eyes mine into an exhilarating rhinestone gleam:  "to let the warm light in!"

Impinging upon a full year in New York is a whimsical sentiment, I feel these foreign faces have imprinted a familiar shade on me.  Let me tell you, Reader, of a story when I was 11. Cindy, my only close acquaintance in elementary school in Toronto, had haughtily told her mom in English that Lisa hasn't ever read Nancy Drew nor Geronimo Stilton books. That, in comparison, she has finished both series and enjoyed them.  She knew that I couldn't understand English well enough to answer her articulately in English, much less to read those books. It was my 4th month in the North American continent.  Perhaps it was her effort to impress her mom, or a childish tease at an immigrant's poor English--- she succeeded. Her mom said that her Cindy is the smartest, and some children can't read yet. Cindy's mom wanted to see me hurt, so she said it loud and clear, in Chinese.   But I was the Head Girl in Beijing! My fragile ego felt tremors. (Interestingly, they never warn yo...
