Chapter 109 To Yeman ①

Comrade Yeman: You sent me a letter and "form" (press: namely "Confessions of a Poet"), received, I am not a poet!When I wrote "Stars", I published it with "fragmented thoughts". The "poems" that followed were also what Sun Fuyuan said: "These prose are very poetic, and they are poems when they are printed in separate lines" and so on (to the effect).In my collection, there is also a collection of "poems", but I always don't take it seriously, and you asked me to fill out the form again, which is really "weeping at the table, not knowing what to say".I am even less interested in new poetry these days.The last few items are really hard to write. To put it bluntly, they are even more "false, big, and empty".I am an old friend, dare to die, come in a hurry, best wishes!
