What if you didn’t ride time like a train on tracks? What if you hopped about like a drop of water on a hot skillet?

Today’s reading is Haniza’s Slipstream by Aaric Tan Xiang Yeow.

Aaric Tan Xiang Yeow’s poems have appeared in Hawai’i Review, From Walden to Woodlands, The Missing Slate and elsewhere. He co-edited Red Pulse II, an anthology centred on a sunny island set in the sea. He has received a top award from the National Poetry Festival as well as a Golden Point Award from the National Arts Council.

Are you ready for the skillet?
