On a shelf by the fridge in my local Chinese
is a large golden cat with an arm that waves incessantly.
I imagine her (or maybe him. It glitters and its ears are pink;
an Asian ladyboy, perhaps?) looking over my shoulder
through the glass shopfront as pramfaces and yobs
pass by. On the arm is some Chinese lettering.
Maybe it says: "HELLO FROM ANOTHER WORLD!"
