The Chinese Red Flag and Foul Air


JoelJosol

Recommended Posts

The Chinese have raised a red flag

over the island but the taxi cabs

 

ignored each other weaving through

traffic jams. Crab bucket syndrome?

 

Grab one for yourself. But don't forget

to bring your crab cracker.

 

For the health conscious, stay away

from crackers. The gas side effect

 

is not toll-free. You pay

with isolation the disruption

 

or violation of ecosystem balance,

by fouling the air with hate speeches.

What with grabs, cabs, crabs, and crackers, your non-things make something light and self-mocking come across bright and fun. How that took me through traffic jams and tolls to ecosystems and hate speeches, I'll never know. But it's fun!
