Father likes to take a nap…

From New Century Poetry Canon, compiled by Yi Sha 伊沙

Xing Mie

father likes to take a nap

father was born in 1949.

he always liked to fall asleep.

especially now

he dozes off all the time.

it’s like he never wakes up.

actually, mother says

when father was young,

he was very active at the unit.

went there early, came back late.

then, after 10 years of confusion

he never woke up again.

even when he sleeps

his eyes are half open.

Or taking to the streets. Last autumn, all through the first chairmen transition period, China was full of demonstrations and looting because of an island dispute. One Politbureau contender had stumbled over his wife and his police chief. Populist mobilizer for Maoist songs. Then they came up with the Chinese Dream. Same ducks, same colors.
