Did You know I Was at Yale?

Did You know I Was at Yale?

Did you know I was at yale
during my first NYC Sunday?

I was bringing the suitcase on the way
my old and gray
some day
you bought at Yale
all the same

Taking a train, a cab
all the way
I was here
today
at your erstwhile place

Life is dead
love is awake

Nobody was singing
Only me was smiling

Climbing all the way
to the top of
where you were
staying
the youthful and colorful days

I got my second Yale t-shirt
that reminded me of the tears on the first
and the dramatically lovely girl

I almost saw your sadness at sino-China war
while at SML
The shining in your eyes
once grabbed me by the rear lake

"Buddha said
how did not a droplet get dry?
Flow itself to the ocean right away"
Those words were still somewhere
I frequented always

My camera died
at your dept building gate
I missed the last possible your thing
I could take
I was gray

I would like to stay
for another day
at HGS tower
with the wind of change

see rare book library again
simply gorgeous again

and have another piece of pizza
that was you recommended

Did you know I was at Yale
New York, Chicago
San Francisco bay
and wherelse you have stayed?

Life is like a necklace
we have to say
we started from the begining
got done at the ending
a decade
no the other way

I had no Chinese input in office and came up with some thougths and made it as flow as possible.. That is it.. But I looked back and realized that the English poem might be perfect for Yale's personality--fancy and looking good... 提拉米苏sweety-- I feel more destiny than romantic... July 17

The battery died at your department building's gate I missed the last opportunity to record somewhere you stayed I was frustrated If I could pray I wish to have one more day at HGS tower where wind of past sweeps by with me watching from far way Together we visited rare books library simply gorgeous library Together we ordered lots of pizza as you always recommended ......

Love is like a pearl necklace we started from the first bead finished at the last one a decade passed slowly all memory faded away July 16

	Quanwrote: Although it's a little bit sad, I still like it. Especially with the rhythm of "San Francisco" background music you chose. I think you write this, right? Not to compliment, but I am truely amazed by the way you put things together in your blog. I am not one who is good at/love literature since I was a child but still deeply touched. Haven't gotten this kind of feeling for a long time while life in US is all about boring realities one needs to face. In the end, your former blogs give people more feeling of relaxation. I prefer that kind of mood more. Great to enjoy your "my space" while I cannot fall asleep but, at the same time, don't want to do anything serious. Finally feel tired. Good dream! July 15
