Yuan Yin
SO MANY POP UP ALL OF A SUDDEN
Haven’t been to Yishan Lake for a long while.
Tonight I am taking a stroll with my wife.
She says
so many people pop up all of a sudden.
I say probably very few of them know
This used to be the May Seventh Cadre School
labor camp of Suzhou.
Back then in the Cultural Revolution,
so many people all of a sudden.
5/13/17

Qizi
GESCHICHTEHUND
die japaner sind gekommen
auf ihrem kriegsschiff
die japaner sind weggefahren
auf ihrem kriegsschiff
aber einen hund
haben sie hier gelassen
der hund war herumgelaufen
vor verschiedenen imbisständen
hatte seine pfoten gefaltet
und wie ein mensch um fressen gebettelt
dann ist er zum hafen gerannt
um auf die japaner zu warten
die japaner sind nicht zurückgekommen
mein patenopa
hat den hund aufgenommen
viele jahre später
während einer politischen kampagne
hat ihn jemand angezeigt
und der hund war der beweis
für seinen landesverrat

TRIUMPH
I am going to feel the sun
I am going to be number one
on this run
to feel the sun
I am going to be number one
I am going to feel the wind
I am not going to be extinct
on this stint
to feel the wind
I am going to feel the wind
I am going to feel the rain
I am going to feel it again
and again
I am going to feel the rain
I am going to feel my life
I am going to feel my wife
like Lou Reed
I am going to feel my life
I am going to be rife
I am going to go to sleep
I am going to go to sleep
in a heap
It will be steep
I am going to go to sleep

BRITAIN AFTER THE VOTE
recently britain
had a big vote.
the vote was about remaining or leaving.
the government thought
most people would vote
to remain in britain.
but most people didn’t.
the leave britain campaign
was victorious.
now there are not many people
in britain.
