Vertical Streets  (2001)

In my dream,

I was turning a corner,

And I entered a neighborhood with vertical streets.

Obviously, the houses were in horizontal positions.

I was going downhill,

And looking where the neighborhood ends.

Sure enough, at the end of Main Street,

A flat community went about its normal life.

It was very normal in my dream.

And life was taking its normal course.

I did not enter any of these horizontal houses:

The secret is always in the inside.

The outside surrounding was too different,

For me to investigate any further.
