Ukiyo
Ten Lines Found Poem
Ted Lee

Under a kimono crouching a girl
Whose head is size large but body a coil
Tender and submissive we deem she is
Tough and subversive her true nature be
Gazing back at the world that tries to peep
With the movement still but a mood that roars
At her right hand side is a green forest
While the other side lies a brownish field
Dare not to tame her by tongue or power
For she is not that Kate in Shakespeare’s play

[Ukiyo by Yoshitomo Nara]
