WEEKEND ACTIVITY
Overcast afternoon hot & clingy no wind
a poet comes out of the subway gets on his bicycle
bag on his back with waterflask right on time
appears in the bookstore in the outskirts sits down
with a band of readers around a table a female student
from a media college does the mc women
and children young men smiles
on their faces one after the other reads from a yearbook
of colloquial poetry other customers passing
will probably think a religious circle
So can he be called a missionary
don’t be too optimistic to propagate poetry these years
is actually harder than spreading the gospel

SACRIFICE
There are lost lives
bleeding red
looming over
me and my people.
There is a mission
that has to fail
if I do it
with only one life.
