[Ja1: 196]
T Sun Ce appointed himself Grand Administrator of Kuaiji. He maintained Yu
Fan as Officer of the Bureau of Merit and treated him with all the courtesy
of a friend.

Sun Ce loved hunting, but Yu Fan objected, "You enjoy going about
without an escort, and your followers have no time to make suitable
preparations. Your men are worried about it. A ruler who is not serious will
have no authority. It was in this fashion that the White Dragon put on fish
clothing and was troubled by Yu Ju,31 and the White Snake acted wilfully
and was brought to harm by Liu Ji.32 Please think about it!"
"You are right," agreed Sun Ce, but he would not change.33

U In the ninth month the Minister over the Masses Chunyu Jia, the Grand
Commandant Yang Biao and the Minister of Works Zhang Xi all left office.34


31. According to an anecdote told in Shuo yuan, compiled by Liu Xiang in the first century BC,
9, 23b-24a, Yu Ju was a fisherman of the state of Song in Chunqiu times. The White
Dragon came down to the water in the form of a fish, and Yu Ju shot him in the eye with an
arrow. The dragon asked vengeance of the ruler of Heaven, but was told it was only natural
for men to attack fish, and if he had kept his true shape he would have come to no harm.
Cf. SJ 128, 3229 ff.

Walking Into Night

Walking amidst the rhythm of garbage,
an old man selects the boxes of his body,
his home a little nowhere
as lost as every star we've named.

My hand is only this
far from your lips
but you are years away.

I look at the end of us.
I look at the color we painted the winter--
that blue of belonging.
I saw it here on a wrapper,
but now it's gone
as though the moon aborted the sun
and thus shines only of electric Buddhas.

Old man, tonight, take care
of your corrugated coffin.
Take care for the boys I saw
doubled on a bicycle,
riding wild
with the habit of purpose
stitched into their eyes.

They could be evil or they could be gifts.
How to decide from this side of eternity?

I can only half read
the slogans on these walls.
They look marroon,
or maybe umber in this light.

I walk my ignorance
and arrive here
into night.
