EXCISE TAX
Needlework rubric; all eyes on Mars.
Chinese men, bent over and wearing
eye-shades in the sun, are doing puzzles.
Ivory dominoes, or sticks of jade. Just
the other day, their New Year's dragons
gyrated like naked women, prancing
around the ice-slicked streets. The excise
tax on fireworks and gunpowder, at play.
