On my way to the pizzeria a second time today, the 27th of March of 2015, I encounter Moli the Fijian in her garden as she trims her bushes in the sculpted shape of penises. They remind me of that old movie Caligula. Her name in Fijian means orange. Her husband Leong, also Fijian, studied sinograms as a child, but has forgotten everything. To each other, Moli and Leong speak a brownish English.

In the morning of the 12th of March of 2022, I took a long route going to the cafe. I saw Eurasian children with brownish hair in the Lulu Island neighbourhood. I saw that the cherry blossoms had not yet bloomed in the school yard. I sat in the gazebo to gaze at the grey-sky landscape. I saw my big neighbour in a grey jacket and black pants, as he looked like promenading fat Maitreya Buddha. At the cafe, drinking my iced black tea, I chatted with the brunette barista Sarah from Montreal about how the cherry blossoms seemed late this year. I went to the quiet pizzeria, and Rose the Filipina was unusually there on a Saturday. Eating pizza, her son John-Paul was there, who did not want to go to martial-arts class today, because of feeling too lazy. I ate a slice and drank cold diet cola.
