16. Chinese immigrants to Angel Island Four days before the Qiqiao Festival,/ I boarded the steamship for America./ Time flew like a shooting arrow./ Already, a cool autumn has passed./ Counting on my fingers, several months have elapsed./ Still I am at the beginning of the road./ I have yet to be interrogated./ My heart is nervous with anticipation. From Island: Poetry and History of Chinese Immigrants on Angel Island, 1910-1940.
