Like many of America’s bases in the Pacific, Guam mixes hedonism with war jitters. Japanese and South Korean visitors revel on the sand of Tumon Bay, a coral-reef lagoon. Above, f-15 fighters and b-1 bombers bank to land at Andersen Air Force Base nearby. Below, nuclear attack submarines slip in and out of Apra Harbour. The marines are building a base up the road. Around lie reminders of the Pacific war between America and Japan. The last Japanese soldier surrendered in 1972.
“Where America’s day begins”, as Guam likes to sell itself (incorrectly), is also where a future American war with China may begin. This westernmost speck of America, just 30 miles (48km) long and with a population of about 170,000, helps it project power across the vast Pacific. As tension over Taiwan worsens, war games often predict early and sustained Chinese missile strikes on Guam, and perhaps the use of nuclear weapons against it.

I once had a client who lived in Guam, so with the time difference, I’d always have to call him with 15 minutes left in my shift, so if he wanted to talk for more than 20 minutes, I’d always get out of work super later. So fuck Guam forever.

Did you get off the plane? A plane I was on once landed in Cincinnati, but we didn’t get off before the next leg, so I’ve never (thankfully) been to Ohio.

PS I would use the same criteria for cars—I have driven through Delaware but have never stopped there, so I wouldn’t say I’ve “been” there.

Does Guam recall our summer's dream, under the starlit sky?
Where we danced by the moonlight's gleam, as the ocean waved goodbye.
With every coconut palm's sway, I see your smile your lovely charm,
Still I'm wondering every day, does Guam?
Does Guam remember your perfume, lingering in the tropical air?
The way we loved in the afternoon, without a single care.
In every sunset's fiery band, in every morning's calm,
Does it hold the prints of our love's stand, oh, does Guam?
