Big Cheese




Two tees at the library today: Adopt Success white on baby blue long one-piece athletic fleecy sleeveless gym gear good against the aircon and manageable flitting between buses, malls and apartment; then at the electronic exit I’m Very Very Happy — violet on white/soft pink, possibly single intensifier and Heart added. (Rapid pass with toddler in tow deciding against pursuit.) Both women Mainlanders at a guess still negotiating transition. At the bus-stop the surprise was the brand of the glass jar chicken essence used by successful students—New Moon. Seen and read one hundred and fifty times at the illuminated boards without properly registering. In this region a big signifier still, symbolically at least, and continuing to cause the Muslims in particular serious difficulties. Otherwise in its fuller phases on the equator a negligible presence rarely worthy of note: small, usually dull orb if visible at all. In China and the Arabian peninsular some impressive sights must still be available in places.
