walking on the broken
backs of children
this is your year of the child

champaign honors with li pong
photo ops
concerned gestures on the square

gourmet dinner in shaanxen:
wichita punching bag
aftermath

third time's the charm
third child's the freedom lover
one thousand nine hundred

and seventy-three lies
and throwdowns at marcy
and tiananmen
