i had an entire dream last night where i was at the counter of the breakfast place on the corner of the villiage next to the school gate, trying to explain to the dude there that i wanted some bacon dan bings. the thing was, i couldn't think of the chinese word for the breakfast dish i wanted. it being three years since i've spoken chinese (not counting to myself, drunk, sitting on my front steps), i couldn't bring my dream-mind to conjure up the right terms. i could remember bacon, that was easy: "pay-kun" is like "bacon", only with the consonants butchured. eventually i resorted to explaining to the cook what it was i was trying to order, and instead of my lovely dan bings i got some steak strips on a bed of lettuce. oh god, i am losing it. i am losing my chinese. if i cannot speak it in my dreams, how will i ever speak it in real life?

Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy!
Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy!
The world is holy! The soul is holy! The skin is holy!
The nose is holy! The tongue and cock and hand and asshole holy!
Everything is holy! everybody's holy! everywhere is
holy! everyday is in eternity! Everyman's an angel!


from Footnote to Howl by Allen Ginsberg (1955)
