China




I was watching a movie on the tv

a man was drinking a vine 

drinking a vine and walking the street

that man was old and walking alone 


on TV, I see china in a movie 

but I have never gone anywhere

I only see china on tv

the tv is my travel 


the man was walking there 

I could see a train 

and a bus and a tree

in china, is a tree

a tree 


the man was on the tv 

and I was watching his movie

it was a music tv 

the man had a vine 

in his hand, he was holding a vine 


he showed us a tree and a train 

a train on his tv 

he was walking in a town 

the town was empty 

there were no people there 


he was walking there alone 

holding his phone 

he showed us how china is

how china is


I thought china was like a ship

or a rocket that flies to the moon

I didn't know china had a tree

have tree china have a tree


the Chinese people on the tv

was like you and me

you and me

they had a hair 

and two feet like you and me

they had feet like you and me


the man on the tv 

went back the next day 

walked alone, all alone 

he walked alone  

he was walking there alone

there alone, holding his phone 

walking alone in a ghost town 


he showed us how china is 

how Chinese people are 

the people are like you and me

you and me

they have hair and two feet

like you and me like you and me

they have two feet
