A Chinese Poem
for Dan and Ann
Cows low in the mist
sounding like the hills themselves
moaning, shifting in sleep
We sit in the untended grass
and pursue the three delights
friends know: talk, drink, laughter
Let the idiots spend forever
counting up what they own
We'll be aimlessly drunk in the meadow
and leave the gate open
-David H. Brennan
