SAGRADA FAMILIA
there is hope.
we are still building.
if we may,
we may take centuries
of common era
of common errors.
concrete is clumsy,
all our efforts.
it’ll take time.

Jiang Huhai
I OFTEN HAVE GRAND ENTITIES ON MY MIND
Toby was my little dog.
I changed his name and called him Earth.
Came home late at night, reclined on a chair
Earth at my feet.
Then I picked up Earth into my lap,
for some quality time.
Proceeded to give Earth a bath,
clipped his hair.
Disinfected Earth’s wounds, put on a bandage,
told Earth to calm down and relax.
Then I changed Earth’s name into Sky.
Later he became Ocean.
Everything I had done to the Earth,
I did to the Ocean, etc. etc.

we’re not that nice
we suck up ants
or vacuum them if you prefer
the proper word
