Haze by Fran Ng
We collide on purpose
not on our own
leaping
into orange.
Then I am red
and you are yellow
circling
a solitary fever.
We make
rings of fire
in dim spaces
stroking time
Where I am red
and you are yellow
and when we meet
We set ourselves on fire.

After an overwhelming read of, Of Rubber Shoes and the Saddest Baby, this book brought my spirit up. It is such a nice story of Lin Hwai-Min, a Taiwanese man who essentially brought light again to the theatre in his country. But what I liked most in this story is that it tells children that art is just as important as everything else, and that devoting their lives to art enriches other lives—which is, I believe, one of the greatest things a person can do.
