As aircrafts soar
Like eagles
Through the winter haze.
Searching for enemy.
The northern wind
Blows an icy breath,
Stabbing painful spikes
On callused hands
Of men pulling rickshaws.
A wealthy family of foreigners
Snuggle in their fur coats.
Drinking and dancing on the balcony
Of the Shanghai Club.
Enjoying their life
in the Bund.
Tourists on a cruise ship
Admiring
The remains
Of old Shanghai.
Smoking cigarettes,
Yelling
In Putonghua.
Huangpu awakes,
Now dreaming a future of the Bund.
