lyrics

it is father's day, i spent most of it on a highway in a traffic jam, got home at 3pm. but am/pm are flipped in shanghai - dad was asleep already so i left him a message and waited till night (morning) - imagined him getting it on his iphone in a big green chat bubble.

morning comes - it is 11pm - i have just fallen asleep watching LA confidential. someone just shot someone through an elevator door, bloody bloody mess

-go upstairs and brush your teeth, mom says, waking me up - my feet are cold. go upstairs to the bathroom, i am wearing my thick socks even though it's summer.

call dad and he answers happy and echoey, but clear. i imagine him in his glass office maybe - no, that might be too fancy

after initial greetings, we run out of conversation. we talk about having a good father's day and how it's only recently celebrated in china. we talk about home videos, about the fake smiles i used to make when i was a baby and how everyone always told me to pose for the camera and how he would always tell me not to.

he laughed hard. i told him two more. his laughs were more forced those times, though - i thought those were funnier
