| A leaf falls

I feel lonely. No one has written me for a very, very long time.

Oh, a poem we read in English class today:

l(a

— e e cummings

A leaf falls. Loneliness. “Breaking away” from the tree. I think it’s absolutely beautiful.

On another note, yesterday was May Day, or International Workers’ Day. I supported my fellow Chinese comrades by wearing a sober, gray/khaki Communist-themed outfit and by pinning a red star onto my khaki jacket.

    Thankfully, the Red Scare is over, or else you would have been shot or something.

    That looks like a typical ee cummings poem. He’s quite clever, though his poems are hard to decipher.
