Earth's Eulogy UnreadI lift and rise to being chased,

If I had Only been EnoughThe first time I felt my sorry heart break
into pieces on my tear dampened lap,
a new feeling washed over my body.
It wasn’t anger, hatred, or disgust-

The girl behind the spectaclesWhen noon's warm rays upon my college fell,
My professor spake of fresher's festive spell,
A farewell party, where I was to play
The anchor's role, and guide the merry way..

Reflect upon what your life has become:
Born in Harbin to refugee Russians,
Tossed out by Mao, with mild repercussions.

I Miss My Childhood Books
