The Deep
Unity on the Mekong. They sell various tropical fruits and root vegetables from their small motorboat in the Mekong's Floating Market. Planted deep in the Mekong, they float each day. Deep in happiness.

Period 3 (Alt Take)
At first scan of this photo I thought, Hmmm... it works fine enough for a post. Then I realized I accidentally captured an ancient Asian tradition. Nose picking. My photo was unintentionally booger bombed by the young lad in the upper right hand corner. This lad is a natural picker. With a clearly gifted technique I'd say his nasal passages are squeaky clean. Probably so clean that snout smells new car clean. And I guarantee he's the proud owner of an extended pinkie fignernail for ear-polishing.
Dear Asia, please stop the nose picking. Please. You know who you are.
Thank you.

VNREM
We did a home-stay on the Mekong Delta. We slept in semi-open-bungalows on the rivers edge. So peaceful. As we pulled the mosquito canopy over the bed and lied down for the day I looked into the glow of our amber nightlight. And I listened to the gentle brush of the murk as motorboats gently trolled the night. The locust swarming in harmony. The roosters waiting for sunset. The gill-man wading in the water. And I looked into the glow of our amber night light. And before I faded I thought, we're in Vietnam. We're in Vietnam. So far away from our everyday.

The Mekong. In the jagged murk, the gill-man lurks. Chuga-chugga-chugga-chuga-chuga-chuga-chugga-chug... down the Mekong Delta. The engine heat. The suns relentless beat. Waiting for something warm. Yearning for a softer storm. Chuga-chugga-chugga-chug-chugga-chugga-chuga chug... In the jagged murk. The creature lurks.
Chuga-chugga, chuggachuggachug, chug, chug, chug-chuga-chug. Down the Mekong Delta.
