A Chinese Street Singer Poem by Chen-ou Liu

A Chinese Street Singer



A Haibun


I stroll down Spadina Avenue, passing by a Chinese street singer. Slowly, I move out of earshot. I come across curious tourists, mingle with bargain hunters, and am grabbed by smiling vendors. But the song chases after me, manifesting itself as my lips move in reflex.
