the sound of music

on the farm summers, Ah-ma's restaurant, and Ah-gong's motorcycle rides into town.

babies crying, birds chirping, crickets creaking. a family restaurant run from 6 am to 9 pm, motorcycle rides to Family Mart, and Xiang-chi bets of 10 cents.

• the sound of music — growing up on the farm in the early 2010s. Ah-ma's restaurant, Ah-gong's motorcycle rides to Family Mart, Xiang-chi for 10 cents, and the sounds i still hear.
