Reduction
What I need to relieve my dry
eyes is a good cry.
Tell me I’ve not grown those
years I was gone.
Reduce me to your greatest
vision of me:
Obedient automaton.
(孩子不是人。)
Incapable by design to see the
flaws of a hypocritical maker.
In whose image.
To whose image
one shouldn’t compare.
We are all dreams biding fulfillment
or demise at the hands of
those who love us most.
Love not know.
