“I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
I'm gonna take you, girl, and hold you
And do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour”

In the early sixties, my great-grandfather Roy helped found the (then) brand new New College of Florida and left it all his money. If he weren't cremated, he'd be rolling over in his grave now, because Ron De Santis decided to fire all the trustees and turn New College into a right wing playground.

Joshua Ip is one of the best poets in what has really been a flourishing Singapore poetry scene. His new and selected poems, *Ownself Say Ownself* (Landmark, 2024), includes some of these poems with the following section note.
![for several months during the covid-19 pandemic, i found myself unable to write poetry. the way out of my writer's block was other people's words -- translation. after finishing a full manuscript of translated formal chinese poetry by a singapore pioneer poet, i realised the rights situation rendered it night unpublishable. thus scarred, i decided to go back to translate works long before the copyright period--and found myself all the way back in the tang and song dynasty. translations to the tanglish came out of a realisation that these ancient chinese poems that haunted my barely-bilingual youth might speak differently across the generations, if their moons and red beans and assorted natural metaphors metamorphosed into the smartphone screens and notifications of today, into the fears and worries of pandemic, into the deeply important (to me) context of modern singapore. literal english translations, annotations, and links to chinese plain versions and detailed annotations are available via this qr code.
