Now and Then

This poet of the Tsong dynasty is so miserable.
The wind sighs, a single swan passes over head
and he is alone on the water in his skiff.
If only he appreciated life in eleventh century China as much as I do.
No loud cartoons on television,
No music from the ice cream truck.
Just the calls of many birds and the steady flow of the water clock

好難想象一個美國人可以領會到這種中國情懷!
