Is thinking substituted for performing ?

Time and Space difference

Exhaustion

Response of Egoism ~ Rather than narcissism

Time and Space difference

Khin-huann Li (translated by Marian Lee)


Flying to a different time zone
Drowsy during the day
And wide-eyed during the night.

Flying over another body of land
Sometimes I will awake
And mistaken it for my homeland.
Renaming a new home to that of an old,
In order to adjust for time difference.

To adjust for year difference,
The old year’s title becomes my pillow,
And I hold onto it tightly.

Flying over a different era,
There is time difference.
Flying over a different country,
There is space difference.
Spinning and reeling, my entire head
Is filled with molded dreams.
