MiSSSisss WaSShington’s Response
I’m quiet
during my lesson
with MiSSSisss WaSShington.
For a long time
I stare at the floral wallpaper
and shelves full of books,
then I notice
a framed photograph
of a boy in uniform.
I had not known of her son Tom
or of his death as a
twenty-year-old soldier
in the very place
where I was born.
I never thought
the name of my country
could sound so sad.
I’m afraid to look
at MiSSSisss WaSShington.
You hate me?
Child, child.
She comes close
and hugs me.
Right then I tell her
about the pancake.
From: Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhhà Lai © 2013. Licensed under CLA. Do not copy or share.
She hugs me tighter,
then pulls out a book.
A book of photographs:
a dragon dance at Tết,
schoolgirls in white áo dais,
a temple built on a tree trunk. Tom had sent home
these photographs
of a hot, green country
that he loved and hated
just the same. I suck in breath:
a photograph of
a papaya tree
swaying broad,
fanlike leaves
in the full sun,
showing off a bundle
of fat orange piglets.
Excited, I yell,
Đu đủ!
I’m stabbing at the image.
Best food.
Papaya?
Your favourite food is papaya?
By the time I teach her
đu đủ
and she teaches me
doo-doo
we’re laughing so hard
we’re hungry for pancakes.
She tells me
to take
the book home.
