Discussion: Stalking Cliche
Chinese New Year

lanterns light the night
clanging, drumming
stacatto voices shouting
pushing, shoving
crowds shoulder to shoulder
dragons winding through the throng
joyful cultural merging
communal celebration


dimmed corridors
coughing, wheezing
calm voice, directing
quick, efficient gloved hands
masks and separated space
invisible spores invading lungs
somber distance
humanity's survival
                   ~~Judi Van Gorder
