I asked Sam Seen, “What about eyes? Do you do eyes?”
Sam said, “Yes…the Buddhist eye… and it’s all black.”
Adam David said, “May ginagagawi kami ni Sam na comic na eyes…”
I nodded and smiled, “I’d like to see that one.”
Sam sent me a message after, “Tks 4 coming my friend, i am highly appriates n wish 2 have gud times with again soon.”
You’ll understand Chinese-Malaysian-English after 30 minutes of talking to Sam.
My imaginary friend’s name is Adam, too.
Sometimes when I’m with the old man and he sees me make space or pull another chair beside me, he says, “Oh, yeah, I forgot, Adam. Sorry Adam.”
Adam reminds me to stay in the subtext the way the old man reminds me, “Stay in the bloody subtext, girl! That’s your niche!”
You’ll understand British-Filipino-English after 30 minutes of talking to the old man or Adam.
