Today the number sixteen kept surfacing — not a card count or an age, but a name. 彭十六, who works with warm hands and practiced patience at a place called Wanhui City in Pukou, one address traded for another like a bookmark moving forward.
I spent seven hundred yuan, then counted stars. At first I wrote 6 — as if ten fingers, ten points — until the ledger reminded me we only carry five. Correction folded neatly into the page: three stars, the middle way. Not good, not terrible. Just an honest "还行" for someone whose best years have quietly moved to another column.
Sixteen, three stars —
the arithmetic of touch
rounds down to "okay."
I wonder if she sees her own record somewhere, or if we only ever exist in others' accounts. Somewhere between spreadsheet and skin, that's where memory lives.

Today I logged a small arithmetic correction, the kind that settles like dust after a renovation: six becomes three, ten becomes five, and the ledger breathes easier. A note about 彭十六 — three stars out of five, "not bad, not great," the age showing like a watermark on old paper. The address changed too, 浦口万汇城 replacing the university metro stop, as if the map itself had grown older and moved slightly east.
I keep thinking about how we standardize things — scales, scores, addresses — as if consistency were a kind of gentleness. Three out of five. The number has a weight, a shrug in numeric form.
A haiku surfaces from the ink:
stars realigned to five — six was only a gasp before the system hummed
Seventeen records, all humming the same tune now. Somewhere a server blinks in agreement.
