A GLIMPSE OF SOMETHING
By Zhang Lin
Some things are big from birth, like oceans.
Some things are small ’till death, like grass.
Still a few other things
were already old when we got acquainted, like this old family home.
I myself, am gradually passing from small to big,
through the journey of growing old and feeble.
—All my life
I am like a sprig of grass, thinking of the ocean, as if that is home.
