I wait

till evening deepens
the shadows of trees lengthen
birds flying homebound
but where are you? are you
riding towards me as the bell
rings impatiently from your bike?


In Isolation

on a business trip
alone in Beijing.
dim light, screeching bed
stifling cigarette smoke
swirled in the air.
isolated from this crowded city,
all night I tossed and turned
how I missed the quarrels
with you, though utterly trivial .
tears swelling
heart sobbing.

1 That's an old story... no cell phone available at that time...can only hear the ringing of the bell from the bike...

2 Hahaha...I smoke and drink! No, I am a second-hand smoker, victim of smokers...

Hi Kokho,

好像有点明白你的意思了, 给点儿ambiguity, vagueness, 产生一些 多义?

Thanks,

哦,post modernism 就是这样来的,不用讲逻辑?
多义,模糊,就是如此产生的?
我一般比较追求 clarity, 以后也来试试含糊的...

我是说,这种表达方法地不地道。
通常我们说,the pohone rings.
说成 the bell of the phone rings 是不是太clumsy?

又打 哈哈,还要费神琢磨你那一脸Laughing ,这个世界怎么那么复杂啊。
