GROWING BACKWARDS
I was born
in the last year of the Cultural Revolution.
If the Cultural Revolution happens again now,
fuck me I can only grow backwards,
in the end my sperm storms out of the egg,
swims straight away and won’t turn his head.

CHAMPION
I am one semen
in my mother’s belly
competing with the other semen
sprinting as fast as I can
to be the first
at the finish
and become the champion
If I don’t run
faster
if I’m not
the champion
there will be
no me on this world
