The lonely white dancer
Jason Zhao Jul 2013
The worst dancer you are in the world
Not one step you move with your feet
A statue I can not call you
Movement still can be felt in your eyes

What dance are you playing I know not
What I know is that it is the most beautiful
and graceful dance in the planet
No dancer or dance moves my heart till I saw yours

What role are you playing dressed all in white
Dante I guess it must be
since I can sense all the Inferno and Purgatorio in your eyes
excerpt the Paradise

What's your feeling when visitors came
taking pictures and throwing money at your feet
From your dance I know every picture they took
every piece of paper they throw only added more sadness to your eyes

Being also a visitor myself
I came to sit with you without money
but only with understanding and the warmth of
another lonely heart

Twenty-five
Jason Zhao Jul 2013
I am twenty five
I have the arms and legs of a twenty five
and a baby face of a five
I have the brain of a twenty five
and a heart of a five
Wearing the mask
I played the normal life of a twenty five
nobody knows I'm actually five

Throw away the glasses
Jason Zhao Jul 2013
Throw away the glasses
Then you can keep a distance
from the ****** televisions and computers

Throw away the glasses
Then you can't get a clear look
at the terribly complicated human beings

Throw away the glasses
Then many ugly things may appear
nice and beautiful when you can't change them

Throw away the glasses
Then you will be much closer
to the truth when you read and to yourself when you write.

To be a sailor
Jason Zhao Aug 2012
So many years
I've spent on the sterile land
in various cubes
curbs my soul and makes me tired.

So why not go the seas!
To experience another kind of new life;
to face the infiniteness
the wildness, and be more tough!


Great men of letters,
Melville,Mark Twain,Hemingway,etc,
all benefit lots
from their colorful life as a sailor.

Thus, to be a sailor,
a sailor, a sailor, a sailor, a sailor !
