Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  Nearer to the city now, the bus thumps and bumps to a slower pace.
Grinding gears mark spaces between dirty children, playing obliviously in the road.
Neither village nor metropolis, outskirts have no identity:
Just a blurry line of encroachment;
a temporary half-life on the way to something more.

Dust springs up from the tires of trucks headed both ways on the road.
A little girl stands crying in a mud puddle; her brothers laughing from the sides.
She has to learn rejection to participate in this brutal, belonging dance.
A little life, and a little death
for a product truly worthy of its name: a good woman is hard to find.
An Asian Slice
At the dark end of an alley on a moonless night,
A youth squats low to the ground, turned toward the wall with his face in his lap.  Someone might think he’s sleeping.  He’s smoking heroin.  Soon he’ll fall over and soil himself, and stay right there until dawn.

Back at the neon-lit mouth of this dark alley, 
hookers walk back and forth, hurrying to get past the alley, either for fear or because is smells so bad.  Eyelids, all painted golden, Asian whores always look like they’re made of candy.  Candy it is; but a snarling cat awaits its prey.

At his Grandmother's house in Penang, while the tropical rain taps softly against the window, Wing Sun, Mother and Grandmother gather in the cozy living room. The room glows with the soft light of an oil lamp, and the walls are adorned with faded photographs and delicate calligraphy. Grandmother’s eyes sparkle as she begins to speak—a voice that carries both the wisdom of her years and the tender care of someone who’s seen many seasons change.  Wing Sun is pensive with anticipation.  What will she say?
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:11, KJV)
“Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)” (Ephesians 6:2, KJV)
“And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4, KJV)
Combine these three commandments into one picture please.
A massive, solid metal USSR emblem glows harshly in red and gold, radiating intense, blinding light. The emblem is firmly pressed down onto the back of a large, dark eagle, which is clearly pinned and crushed beneath its weight. The eagle’s wings are forcibly flattened and bent outward, feathers distorted, body warped under the relentless pressure. Its legs and torso are pressed into the ground, unable to move, showing literal physical force. The emblem dominates the composition, casting sharp, dramatic shadows across the dark eagle. The scene is rendered in bold, graphic socialist propaganda poster style, with high-contrast colors, simplified forms, exaggerated perspective, and stylized lighting. Harsh rays of light radiate from the emblem, emphasizing power and oppression. No abstract symbolism, no heroic balance, no floating elements — only a monumental emblem pressing down, physically immobilizing the eagle.
