People laugh about my poems
my poems are elegant enough
they don't need Cheng Hsuan's comments
much less Mao Heng's explanations
I don't mind few understand me
those who know one's voice are rare
if we had no fa or sol
my disease would surely spread
one day I'll meet someone with eyes
then my poems will plague the world
