TO EACH HIS OWN COMMON
He says there are Western common values
and so there are Eastern common values.
Then there must be Southern common values
and Northern common values.
Maybe there are Southeast common values
and Northeast common values.
Or also Southwest common values
and Northwest common values.
Could there be North-by-Northwest common values
and South-by-Southwest common values?
Or rather North-by-northeast common values
and East-by-Northeast common values
as well as South-by-Southeast common values and East-by-Southeast common values?
Counting on my fingers,
I realize there should be
your common values and my common values
as well as those of his side
and also her side,
to each his own common.

各有各普
•西毒何殇
他说有西方普世价值
就有东方普世价值
那就有南方普世价值
和北方普世价值
也许还有东南方普世价值和
东北方普世价值
或者西南方普世价值和
西北方普世价值
是不是也有西北偏北普世价值
和西南偏南普世价值
或许还有东北偏东普世价值和
东北偏北普世价值
以及东南偏东普世价值和偏南普世价值
掐着指头算了算
应该还有
你方普世价值和我方普世价值
甚至他方和她方
也各有各普
