yeah it's out there
a real departure for me--it was an experiment. I wanted to delve into other cultures.
It's really a statement about women, about Asian women being under the thumb of oppression.
I've never written anything quite like it. It's pretty weird. I had read a book, can't remember the title though
now. Anyway, it was a Chinese story I believe. Made me think--hence the poem.
PS you can be honest with me about my poety--I don't take myself too seriously--also I learn from negative and positive comments

Poetipb,
came, read, don't truly understand poem, but, I cannot lie to a creative friend. Also, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer
