'Pon Reading the Writ of Ancient China
My heart is no stone
Where the weeds o'er the hearth have grown--
Where the color has faded and turned to mush
so evident when my mind starts to gush!--
Where the reeds of the lake achrome have thrived!--
And all feeling has been deprived.
Turn this immobile bloodpath;
live eternal in rationale!--
And watch with patience from b'yond the grave,
Your empty name forever on a page.
