Paperman (Thin As A Lath) Poem by Xiao Kang

Paperman (Thin As A Lath)



Would the wind take them far away?
being fragment in anytime –
the paperman, thin as a lath made in glass

the judgement given by doctors –
are excessive weight loss – or –
mental disease
No more food, and no more talk

If the paperman could be written by words
Well,
Is there all “dirty” written –
Under the cover of fat?
