Kate, water
color on paper, 5x7 inch
Slender,
stylish, often dressed in silk, her mini-mobile is always pressed to one ear, as her whispered Thai words flow across Bangkok’s many-layered spectrum
as she weaves
her multiple webs. Her father, a Bangkok
police captain, has a gun strapped to
his ankle. When she was a teenage girl,
he used to take her on nighttime tours of Chinatown to teach her the nature of
Men. Before she reaches forty, she will
be a dollar millionaire
with an upscale Bangkok condo, a house in Sydney and a villa in Chiang Mai.
