China Smoking Poem by Aldo Kraas
China Smoking
China has become so polluted
He told me
That it's better
To breathe through a cigarette filter
Than just take in the air on its own
And if your lungs are going to get
Shot you might as well enjoy it.
Wow, pungent, real, Beijing a world of masks and dust, China a world of economic explosion drowning in its own success, love your words, because they drive a point home that gets lost outside of metaphor.
