一百五十六天前:

...应该是去年吧

i think that moment
would be chinese
simple, intimidating,
lush, delightful

for some,
arresting yet forgettable
like rape
(how chinese takes liberties with your mind sometimes!)

and simply
undecipherable
(meaningless even)
useless
enslavement by memory
winters before spring

and to most:
don't mean s**t.

*********

apologies

was mugging chinese, you see.
and felt like being imposing for once
coy subtleties of metaphor - bah !
brashness is best sometimes

and royce never fails to remind me of art's difficult possibilities.
