“You are the flower and I am the grass,”
the young man says to the young woman.
“I am the flower and you are the grass,”
the young woman says to the young man.
“You are a bird and I am a fish.” “I’m
the kite and you’re the wind.” Difficult
as it is, a Chinese couple with eyes
closed kiss forgetting they are opposites
sitting on a stone step not noticing
the grass or the kite in a tree or me
who writes Nor do they know what they begin
might end any moment
. As the crazy
man lies down by the Tai Chi dancer
Dad kicks the ball his son runs after.
