--- H O A N G   D A   T H I

There is a person riding his bike on the street
He has an entire mole under his mouth.
That is Mr. Wall.

There is a person who is all black and smudgy
And stands all night next to the stove
That is the kitchen door

There is a person whose nerves ache
Who writhes silently without anyone knowing
That is a guitar.
