Hey, Listen - Works by Sandy-Leong Sin U
When I was little, I saw my grandpa sitting in front of my late grandma’s portrait talking to himself, with a bunch of pale flowers in the vase. Even I got closer to him, he was always mumbling something I couldn’t understand. When we just kept talking to ourselves some code, or something no one would pay attention to. We didn’t bother this unclearness and just speeded up and kept talking.
Later the world I know has always been murmuring to me. The world population exceeded 5 billion the year when my mother gave birth to me during a nightlong excruciating pain. Juicy watermelon bought home being placed on a newspaper with pictures of a dismembered body discarded in the trash bin we walked by every day. A rare day of cuddling accompanied with terrorist attacks afar where people weep in front of the camera, provoking endless revenges. Too much going on with too little time to react. News listlessly running, words and opinions flying all over.
I learn to sort through things, analyze and understand step-by-step. Yet, flowers grow in their ways. Squirrels climb along the branches. People argue because of communication, but achieve lasting peace, then the next season is approaching. Hey, just listen and, talk.
