Encounters with Chinese hermits
Protectors in the mountains
Out of touch with the times
But not with the seasons

Getting darker early
I wear my heavy jacket
There's a buck in that racket
Sophia has her reasons

Dim sum in Hong Kong
And in San Francisco
Richard Rodriguez, writer
Michael Gerson: treason.

She and I and water
Carolina Inn
Blue and black and bathing
Then positively pleasin'

                Si Senyora
                    He's in.
