< Translations from the Chinese
A MOMENT OF MEDITATION
I WAS told that America was a free country,
But I found many of its substantial citizens
Terrorized by the advertisements
Into believing it was immoral
To wear a straw hat
Later than September 15th.
Wise men know
There is no such thing as a free country—
There never will be.
