China Poems

China Poems

Hangzhou is a nice city to leave with a smile
cranes made it home
people building more city
like they are
ants
they kind of look like ants too


Another year without
roses, another year-
on the run


Shangri-la, I laugh
silly tourist photograph
Han Chinese in masks


Yunnan Blues

Tan khakis and-
a Shangri-la of every town,
in this land

Wade from Song of the Open Road
