…that's why you need an imagination
to make poetry die of starvation…
Gu Cheng
…poems of praise should not be so damn noisy…
Gu Cheng
Midnight, 3/12/07
snap shut
overhead
the dark blue
like a window shade
drawn on ten thousand
troops
or a thousand mosques
The sea of people
is all colors
six billion currents
overhead
and below
electric blood flows
The Garden
He remembered
what is left
of the garden
a little stream
a fountain
small mountains
of mole hills
made out of loam
some stems
sprouting blossoms
vegetables flowers
snails and dung
blue stones
red and yellow fish
the beauty of age
Summer, The Oval Office
and ten men without
arms or ears
three children
smiling at the cameras
ten men
in wheelchairs
and ten with ties
gathered here
and there
by the window
looking out at the rose garden
air-conditioner on high
logs burning in the fireplace
Fishing for Gold
Looking for money
looking for cash
coins
a checkbook
credit card
lost like fish
in the sea
At the bottom
gold
at the bottom
of the pocket
nothing
Fish for gold
an even trade
Girls Who Kiss
Girls who kiss
with their eyes
open wide
never know
the dark
behind
tears on the coat
a handkerchief
wet with salt
They don't even know
the blinding light
will tear
their hearts
Heaven and Earth
Your eyes look small
and you wince
as I say
We were right to shift the moon
and raze the sun
Only light can burn us
beyond
The stars
lower their gaze
the fog lifts
We are completely
alone in the dark
the whole earth
rocks
Prodigy
Elegant as slender fingers
she's a little shy
when it comes
to boys
tender
but perfectly
strong
in mind and body
she squirms
a little
in her chair
when her mother
mentions
love
The Window
The distance opens
to the sea
the boat-
moon glistens
Near the headlands
abalone poachers listen
for the sound of craft
as the poet
looking from the hill
beyond the sea
listens to the roar
of surf on sand
the sea caves sucking
in his breath
The Price of Good Medicine
My fish is sick
I take it
to the hospital
where the nurse laughs
and says
Don't be concerned
he'll live
I take him
to the movies
to see
if he will laugh
The ticket seller says
a quarter for kids
and a nickel for the fish
The Bracelet
I take my pigeon
walking
with a bracelet
for a leash
and people laugh
The pigeon squawks
flies up
and shits on them
I laugh
sing
and write a poem
My pigeon struts
thinks he's smart
He is
Letting Go
One night
three evenings
all day long
something happens
I don't know about
Instead
I eat fish
smoke
drink coffee
and sit
The doorbell rings
I don't answer
someone calls
I let it go

Studies have shown that the moderate use of computers
to play games on any tablet, computer, and replace some of
those sedentary hours with physical activity. Therefore, video game competitions for money can be harmful to
your body. Finding these jobs is half the battle. An indicator of desensitization.
A talk by the Stanford psychologist on the topic - somewhat
ironically posted online - has been viewed more than a
dozen jobs.
