    Farming so hard in
    the dirt of anger, starving,
    I wish I could find happiness
    by pushing comrade Snitch
    from Peking into the pig sty
    but it's just a daydream that I'd spit
    in his stymied eye when he says,
    because my wife has a cold
    we can't go to market without
    coughing up a bribe

    He's sick like the chickens
    limps like a duck, but
    I'm too poor to
    cook a Peking duck
    so I'll cure him
    with a little bacon lean
    and taxes on my back
    for that fat one
    to waddle back
    to the Flu Bureau

    My son went to the city
    where he searched for bits
    chanted in the Mayor's parade
    the slogan "We love peaches", but
    he posted something modern
    disappeared. I don't post signs.

    I still don't know
    what it is I'm to
    tell no one
    'cause I just wish
    I could get to Hong Kong
    ring a gong for joy
    run wild like
    a chicken without a head
    for business in
    cherry blossoming times
    where red sin is mine
    gleeful dreams true at last
    happiness like
    hidden giggling girls
    allowed to live
    without a dowry
    finding me charming
    and as generous as
    I would've wished to be
    had I known freedom

    Flying Without Feather Ado
