The typhoon came
Bringing like and destruction all at once
It reminded me of the fishes
We bathe in the think layer of life
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rain coming down on us hard
Giant drops of water leaking through the clouds
Holding an up-side-down world within
We're accompany by it so often
We hate the rain here
We always think of growth as something that comes from the bottom going upward
Little we know that the world actually falls from the sky
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The MRT collects everyone's loneliness together before it distribute it to different places
Like water dams and pipes sending out water to every household
They say we need to wait at least three thousand years
Before we get a chance to see the same drop of water again
I am among these people too
Walking through the city
Passing everyone else's story
They say 十年修得同船渡
It means "people need to practice moral rules for ten years before they can share a same boat in their next life"
We were collected on the same train because the older versions of us wanted us to
Yet we never remembered that
Yet we never recognized our loneliness
So we end up being alone, together
Unknowingly
[MRT= Metro Rapid Transportation=subways in Taipei]

That mutation form of understanding--The closeness in our imagination
Is on the TV again tonight
People gathered protested
In front of the monument which was recently named for the sake of glorifying freedom
"The Liberty Square" as they called it
What is understanding?
Fishes only have 7 seconds of memory
What is Freedom?
Fishes seaking outlets within a confined cup
Taipei。台北
