A night, the Pacific Ocean was, <br>as its name, calm; I sat on deck and listened to the heartbeat of the ship, <br>which seemed to beat faster when one of the engineers opened the door and <br>came out on deck. I heard laughter from the mess-room they were playing <br>cards but I knew I would never be one of them, I had tried, the swagger and <br>the misogyny, living in a world where women were either whores or mothers. <br>The ship was bound for Nagasaki, which for the young crew meant little, but <br>I had been here before and visited a graveyard where Portuguese sailors had <br>died long time ago when Japan was an unknown land. At sixty I was a relic <br>and accepted that. Berthed. Walking down the gangway, I didn’t bother to look <br>back, didn’t shake anyone’s hand- it was dinner time anyway.
