Never Mind
July 3, 2013
I try to learn the Erhu*--
Only to strike a net of naughty notes
catching colds;
I play chess every day --
My king never reigns for thirty minutes
I do calligraphy --
Three years passed and my horizontal strokes
are furious worms wriggling across the paper
And please not ask about art --
Tie-dye is as far as I get
Well, well
Never mind
I am alive
I am who I am
*Erhu is a traditional Chinese musical instrument
