TANGLED
Someone has told me
I should use my profession and set up a stall on the ground
Maybe I could make over three hundred thousand per month,
much more than with regular work at the hospital.
I am moved at heart,
but tangled up too.
Should I give shots at my stall,
or should I tell people their fortune
or should I interpret their dreams?
Stupid!
It’s TCM, stupid!
I have to offer Traditional Chinese Medicine!
If anyone says I am doing it wrong,
I call the cops and say he slanders
and insults TCM.
