THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 73 by HAN SHAN

First Line: CHAOS WAS HAPPY / IT NEITHER ATE NOT PEED
Last Line: THE CROWD YELLS RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
Subject(s): CHAOS; CHINESE LITERATURE; LIFE;

Chaos was happy
it neither ate nor peed
whose drill did it meet
that gave it these nine holes
day in working for food and clothes
year out worrying about rent and taxes
thousands fight for a coin
the crowd yells @3run for your life@1
