On the banks of the
Yangze & Yellow river
Now America's sorrow.

Spoken by the elite of Bejing and taught
At Harvard and Yale.

Learn Mandarin
Prepare for the future and
Name your child Mao.

March Snow IV

Whose gnarly knuckles
Grasp each day desperately
Straining to hang on.

March Snow III

A drum-like dalliance
measuring the last minutes
Of wining winter

March Snow II

Misty windowpanes
Reflect icy tips that like
Fingers tap the glass.

March Snow I

Freezing rain drops shine
Shivering silver branches
Tapping on the window.
