Xuan Tao 玄涛
DRAGON BOAT POETRY FESTIVAL
At the county literature federation poetry event,
theatre people sang Shaanxi opera,
howling their thoats out.
The son of poet Xiao Mai
right away
held his hands over his ears.
I let my eyes wander throughout the hall,
found many people
who also wanted to hold their ears.
But they,
just like me, were afraid
to embarrass the ones on the stage.
