rickshawing… a random bit
永远不要浪费你的一分一秒，去想任何你不喜欢的人。
– Gautama Buddha
waste one less minute
on hating, one less second
on disapproval

the american dream
swerves,
stands still, follows
the rules until
something breaks,
and just sometimes
catches the eye of
another american
dream
and camouflages
to avoid becoming
a gauge, to be
measured always
against enough

did you read the poem? (smile)
yes
okay
jaywalking at cross purposes et al
