The mesh

The mesh

Sha Yan

on downtown street
filled with people
the opening ceremony of
that statue of that English lord

the mesh is beside
the statue, about 
twenty meters away
on the right side of the street

it is a cold morning
at this time of the winter
the cold mesh, metal
and the cold statue, metal

it is warm inside
the shopping mall beneath
stayed in the cafe
enjoy the coffe and snack

the jazz music is played
I sipped my coffee
flipped one page of the McLean
and want to see the mesh again

I ran off the street
with my camera, take pictures
of the mesh and the stature
so I can show them on the Internet

in this not too bad a day
it rained half way
sleazy, wet yet cold emotion 
in my heart, I want to stay away
