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
