Sonnet 109
Laijon Liu 20160602
Living in a lie is dancing in a masked ball
One must know how to lip sync a falsetto
Artificial flowers perfect for all seasons
Beautiful wigs suit judges and high courts
You don’t know what fake truly is
Unless you are born and bred of it
The fabric of characters and culture distort
So you become a product forges counterfeit
The longest proud history is a gold front tooth
The wisdom of the letters viewed by glass eye
Power of imagination, impression, consumption
Is me, shaved off my pigtail and driving a corvette
For nothing in this world is valuable
If you can’t win, win and win all the time.
