Down not up
On the wall
-sit two knobs
-each is marked:
- "Up" - "Down"
I see her standing
-she is there
-in waiting
-and has pushed
-both the knobs.
It can be for one cause
-either of craze or; unaware! ?
She has come from far
- (a village, small town,
-in China…)
Feels like fish on the sand
-blind is to the world
-where she lives;
-is drowned!
In a way is care-less
-to values of others.
Comes the car in the wall
-to take us…going up…
Down we go
-she and I…
Time is lost
-partly mine!
I cannot say a word
-to Chinese who knows not
-language, way of life…
Bit my lip with patience
-could I do something else?
