Childhood

Are the deities in the mountains

having a feast of peaches

as I burn the midnight oil by the curtains?


Suddenly flew by is the chalk of my teacher's

when I am only having a gander

at her black twin tresses


Wulin is in uproar over the Dragon Saber

but lore of an inch of time is gold laces

my ear and flips out from the other


From their quarreling voices

I hide in invented worlds under the table

but not from goose egg and cane lashes


To battles, my green plastic soldiers march

as I yearn to grow up in every March.
