Rob Schackne #488 - "Tu Fu the year 753"


Tu Fu the year 753
he's still laughing
at the chickenshit
the political intrigue
institutions and norms
he took my hand once
and got us lost
in a department store
and another time

on a lone highway
a patrolman asked us
strange questions
poetry and torment
strange birds and insects
where are you going
the end of the world
you passed it

  2. a piece of mine in Jacket a few years ago ---

    on immortality

    after Ruan Ji

    six dragons
    in a cloud car
    done for speeding
    overcrowding
    the driver was over
    the elixir limit
    sentenced to even more immortality
    all the culprits could say was
    “we just wanted to get away”
