Koreans

Am I

one of you?

You yell,

you sweat,

you smell,

you forgive,

you laugh,

you cry,

you blush,

you fight,

you apologize,

you love,

you procreate,

you sleep,

you dream,

you scold,

you lecture,

you mind,

you care,

you ignore,

you peek.

Am I one of you?

Korea

1 이상

Got caught

talking to my self

today

on the subway train.

The woman sitting across

closed her eyes.

2 노랑나비

We've finally

succeeded

in selling

our girl.

3 겸손

You are

shy

when treated

nice.

4 도적

You steal

a little

But your heart

beats

big time.

5 동정

Wet eyes

wet eyes

You feel sorry

for the

poorer.

6 꼬리꼬리

Slightly

out of the way

to me,

you all look.

7 빙산

Feelings

under the surface

of the peaceful

tranquility.

(10.17.1997)
