On the perambulated promenade,
Men of my own Chinese animal pass by.
They are not weighed down by life,
Dutifully pushing again, the womb fruit toward sunlight.
I once false circled their orbit before truth re-entered.
Lonely has a certain gravity to it.
These equations come with no solution
I am the remainder.
