EXCHANGING

 

It couldn't be that they were both drunk

Since my father never was but somehow

He and Li Po agreed for a season

To trade shadows. Word got around since

Li Po was nine feet tall and his shadow

Taller, even at mid-day. In dreams my father's shadow

Signals urgently sometimes that a glass of rice wine

Or perhaps a bottle wouldn't come amiss.
