Two kinds of time

Two kinds of time

the poet wrote in a poem

time to take the whip

chasing us behind us

But actually

Sometimes it actually runs ahead of us

For example, migrant worker Xu Xiangdong

two hours ago

He got a call that his father was seriously ill

Now he's on the train

rush home

call again

This time over the phone

the old man is gone

Naive

she's beside the railway

number of rails

The cat asked her how many

she says

so long

I haven't counted yet
