Cindy Ko
brain litter (or when Mac Miller sings)
“when you’re high but you’re underneath a ceiling,” the hand stretch from pride and prejudice, my brain is 跳來跳去 because now I’m abroad and I’m getting new, different, cross-cultural input too—like a parrot like ChatGPT I’m consuming and recycling but don’t worry I’m taking no one’s jobs here! Before computers there were Whitman’s pastoral scenes, now we have something like a flood like Noah’s like the ark can now fit whatever fits on a server that fits on earth like my millions of browser tabs, bury them with me, maybe then I’ll finally read them.
Cindy Ko calls both Portland, OR and Taipei home. She’s currently studying to be a professional licensed counselor and is interested in exploring linguistics, generational trauma, and metaphors.
