Subject: Relax...

Whining on the silence of the net (and sometimes the
msg of removing oneself completely from this tiny poetry
society) is completely understandable.

Things aren't that bad however. The traffic pattern of this
net is better termed as "bursty traffic" in a view of computer
architect.

Things are quite bad on the otherhand, considering the sheer
volume of new writings thou.

Indeed, Time playes a vital role sharply between the bread-winning
research/career and others. So relax please. If Time is plenty, creat
some; if scarse, sit and watch; and if in between, copy and post some
really hurts nothing. Does that sound anywhere reasonable, everyone?

To response to the low tide, I will throw out a piece that otherwise
goes nowhere for sure. I realize that it's miles away from my own satisfaction,
but just for the hack of it...

Comments/Critizies are heartly welcome. You are truly free to cc them to
the net as a way of stimulating further discussions. Same will hold for my
future postings, if any.

A good piece of news is. Our own chinese literature magzine "The New Thread"
will soon be collecting a specila version dedicating to oversee's students
poetry. So get ready!

Sincerely,

PS: Haven't got time to reply to some friends of the net, please forgive me.

        告  别  冬  季

          ・竹 人・

                草色终于连天
                而所谓天  虽是无桨可渡
                总也不过几声长啸的距离

                        -- 题记

    是不是醒得太迟？
    我猛然翻身坐起 --
    朝阳从右侧哗然升空
    一浪浪的绿色从左翼摇滚而来
    而我们正以十年前心跳的速度
    快速分割着平原的东南西北
    五月  原来可以来得这么
        迅速而平静

    若是心中尚存着半杯残雪
    又该如何面对这疾来的春讯
    在五月  我醒来如一册
    搁置太久了的线装书
    终于从尘封的书架上跌落
    朝着这一天地的浪漫  从序到跋
    重新一页页仔细地打开
    而什么时候冬季再来
    我将缩身为石  掷出而不
        问路

                5/11/1994       香槟

后记：

一周之内两度绝早起身赶往芝城赴会，一路饱受春机
驳动的渲染。大骇之下，因为之记。
