The first snow in my city--- Beijing Nov 3rd, 2012













WhEn iN RomE, dO As tHe RoMaNs Do


“WhEn iN RomE, dO As tHe RoMaNs Do”



            The shifting train;
            The raising moon,
            Fast, oh, fast!
            Tress, on both sides, went behind.
            There was nothing else is the best,
            Except travelling to Rome in the past.
           
            Though, he arrived
            with nervousness.
            People,
            seemed bizarre, antiquated.
            He couldn’t adapt into the surroundings
            And lonely as it is that loneliness,
            would be lonelier
            if he put more barriers

            Insisting…
            Insisting to be the real him.
            He thought it would be worth doing so.
            He was deliberating
            in the silence,
             surrounded with loneliness.

             He started acting,
             Split himself with the real him.
            Starting to blend into the people;
            Realizing it was becoming better.
           
            Finally, he was in the heavenly Rome.
            Meanwhile,
            he just put a mask to cover himself.
            He discovered that everyone has a mask.

            No one knew what would happen
            If people take off their masks…
            Do you know?
