No sense.

the sirens are wailing

“Keep going”

“Keep going”

but the lumbering giant
stands still on the hill

Just a little poem I wrote on the way back from town.

Well, this is uh, different.  Messed up.  Again I'm having trouble understanding what you are trying to mean with this, whether it's something simple and straightforward or a deeper, more complex concept you wish to express.  There's always so much ambiguity surrounding your work, I wish you'd write more at a time...

Unless you're one of those poets who writes to be read into, it'd be helpful to offer more to the reader so that they don't take it in the wrong direction.  Nicely written.

You're a political guy, Zu. I'm going to take the entire meaning of this piece as a political stance and say that the lumbering giant is metaphorical for the current situation or a past situation. Give me a break, it's after 3am and I haven't slept properly in days. Metaphors are good for you anyway.

However! I do like it. A piece that gives the reader the ability to see whatever the hell they want is nothing but good. You've giving us freedom and only joy and rapture can come out of that.

I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.
