Star Watching on the First Day of the Year



This is a superb *pass-through drama
Stars backpackers
Set off in different time
while they arrive here at the same time

Magic Seeing night of the Sky
Dog star as the witness
Me and Stars start the game
To see who blink first

Swing your ponytail
My pretty Catalina
Let’s bless for each other
By tomorrow morning
We shall leave for our destination

Children are playing with a dog
It’s owner is far away
Under the sole street lamp in front of the house
Searching and calling upon him

Beside the North star
Has risen the wine flag
There lies the busy orbit
Some are on their way back
Some are about to travel for distance



*pass-through drama: a popular drama genre that main characters in play often switch between two or more different time zones, to create dramatical development, fun, and tension
