remember just

            the sound of dad
            washing rice


            from san francisco
                         latitude : 37° 46' north
and steam rising from the rice pot
              longitude : 122° 26' west
                          initial heading :  282.5° west-northwest
              final heading : 232.5° southwest

remember how to wash the rice
               just with one hand in the pot running every grain through my hand until they become clear and the
water becomes milk—[distance between :

             heading from guam
                         latitude : 13° 30' north
             longitude : 144° 40' east
—how to remember
             initial heading : 52.5° northeast
                         final heading : 102.5° east-southeast

stick your finger into the rice and water and touch the bottom of the rice pot
               then place your thumb against that finger where the rice ends and water begins
that is the amount of water that should just rise above the rice—
