Yan Yongmin
WHEN DO I WANT A BOYFRIEND?
not when I’ve cooked too much food for myself
not when I’m alone at the movies
not when I cannot move heavy stuff
not when my mom asks me to get married
not when I go to the hospital all by myself
not when I hug myself and cannot sleep
when I put on or take off a dress
the zipper at the back gets stuck in the middle
I think it might be nice to have a boyfriend
zip me up in the morning
zip me out at night

Lao Dao
WRITING
I don’t write poetry
cause of some need of a soul,
cause I reveal love naturally;
cause I record my true feelings.
I’m not that grand.
I simply write
to give myself courage.

Lao Dao
SCHREIBEN
ich schreibe nicht
weil eine seele es braucht
weil eine liebe von selbst offenbart wird
um wahre gefühle zu dokumentieren
ich bin nicht so großartig
ich schreib ein gedicht
um mir mut zu machen

Shen Haobo
REPUBLIC
all those so-called platonists
all those rotten at heart
all those taking themselves for judges and kings
all those dreaming of giving
directions to mankind
all those fat shining bugs
wagging their hidden poisonous hairs
banning lions and wolves
banning desperate youths
banning indecent wives
banning loonies and thieves
banning beggars and thugs
banning satan
banning contrary jesus
banning poets
banning me
without need
you don’t need to ban me
I was just passing by
just came looking to see how you’re doing at home
I have seen enough
your republic
holds no place for loonies and no place for me
