I’ll say no to the house special – the Emperor’s
Green Spine adorned with jade
and I’m not interested in the Metallic Truss
with Wind Chime Cables
I don’t want to simply cross a river
to another city or tourist trap
I’ve decided on the Amazonian Cliff to Cliff
although it might upset my stomach
I like the simplicity of bamboo and rope
leading into the trees full of birds
