Crossing the Thu Thiem ferry in 2010

HUYNH KIM

---

While crossing the Thu Thiem ferry this morning, he came across a wild rice plant.

Growing naturally beneath the rusty ferry deck

The place where the ferry platform is lowered every time

Hundreds of ferry passengers swarmed aboard.

Then the wild rice plant turned upside down and fell into the Saigon River.

No one saw it anymore.

The ferry's platform is being pulled up.

The wild rice plants are lush green.

He tiptoed again, his feet rusting.

Looking at the blue sky

The fragile Saigon River

There is a lonely wild rice plant for companionship.

Where does rice come from?

Why don't the rice grains fall into the water hyacinth patch?

Drifting and blooming at the same time

Why don't the rice grains stay in the green field?

But it flew into the city center.

The buildings on the other side of District 1

Have we ever been together?

Rice grows naturally, like grass.

Like the Saigon River flowing endlessly

Not like last night

The persistent, drizzling rain

He's alone.

Miss you
