Death of the Postcolonial Man


The light at my back
            keeps me from whistling at the moonbeams
and her legs. 
The Chinese girl with the waterfall hair
            hides herself behind sleepy clouds.

If I died today,
            my blood would pour into the sea
and the sea would still be clear.

For God filled the Earth with Chinese girls.

The air collapses in a billion
            pairs of hands.  A cup of jasmine tea spills
through a knothole in the floor. 


(This is an older poem I kinda like...)
