Blue "The Imaginary Love Story"

Pada Suatu keramaian terlihat segerombolan orang berbaju hitam mengejar seorang badut Panda. Si badut berlari dengan sekencang-kencangnya. Orang yang mengejarnya sangat ramai dan terus berteriak memanggilnya "Nona...! Nonaa...!".
Tampaknya si badut tak memperdulikan orang-orang itu dan terus berlari.

Di tempat lain, terlihat sebuah mobil melaju dengan sangat kencang. Di dalamnya terdapat sosok pria yang membunyikan musik sekeras-kerasnya dan tampak sangat ugal-ugalan. Meskipun telpon berdering dia tidak mengangkat telponnya, bahkan dia melempar Handphonenya ke tempat duduk belakang mobil. Dia tampak seolah-olah bebas melaju tanpa hambatan. Hingga dia berhenti di sebuah taman kota.

December at Yase by Gary Snyder



You said, that October,
In the tall dry grass by the orchard
When you chose to be free,
"Again someday, maybe ten years."

After college I saw you
One time. You were strange,
And I was obsessed with a plan.

Now ten years and more have
Gone by: I've always known
where you were—
I might have gone to you
Hoping to win your love back.
You still are single.

I didn't.
I thought I must make it alone. I
Have done that.

Only in dream, like this dawn,
Does the grave, awed intensity
Of our young love
Return to my mind, to my flesh.

We had what the others
All crave and seek for;
We left it behind at nineteen.

I feel ancient, as though I had
Lived many lives.

And may never now know
If I am a fool
Or have done what my
karma demands.
