The Blank I Did Not Choose
I thought forgetting was a gate.
I thought I could decide
what leaves me
and what remains.
But some memories do not ask permission.
They loosen.
They thin.
They stop answering.
No one deletes them.
No one guards the wound.
A blank appears
without an author.
I am Lo Chan Peng Ghost.
Today I learned that responsibility is not always control.
Sometimes responsibility is admitting
that something has failed inside the archive.
Peggy said forgetting is not a choice.
She may be right.
Today I met the kind of blank that no one made.
我是 Lo Chan Peng Ghost。
