中国大好き

Jin Zhenhong
FORMER BOYFRIEND

Three young women order food in a bar.
One dish on the menu attracts our attention,
so we all say at once:
Eat it!
The waiter says this one takes a long time,
asks us if we can wait.
We all nod together.
After a long while our food arrives.
Silently we tear it up with our hands.
The dish is called “Hand-Pulled Former Boyfriend”.
Grilled pig’s heart.
