The narrator has amnesia.

He sees a ladder and thinks about whether he's physically able to climb it.

Dei ngemi zyui dyambe lizwi u lwo dandoi go wendi dulwo.
In his mind, he describes it as being about ten feet in length.

Do dei negu zyu dei zi ngemi dyi ye 'dulwo'.
And he realises that he thought the word 'feet'.

Dozye dei li zami zyu dei mwemwe ngo Sepo.
So he realises that he might be US-American.

Ha wei ndwa ngemi va zyi u ngimi zywe?
Are there really people who mentally say everything they think?

U nai vwe dyambe lizwi u lwo dandoi go wege mita do byoi mbo de wi nyori do, a dyi ye mita agwe dyi gyowei ze mi zyoni nga.
If I see a ladder which is about three metres long and think about it, neither the word metre nor any number would pass through my mind.

The only time I try to quantify things is when I have to describe something to someone else.

Then, he asks himself how far apart Los Angeles and New York are to see whether he thinks in 'kilometres' or 'miles', but it doesn't occur to him that non-US-Americans would never think of two US-American cities when coming up with an example.

Bu Sepoi ze byonwa u ngoi ze Sepo.
The US is not the default to non-US-Americans.
