the way he describes Mao --
like a poet,
paints a portrait
of his speech
his hands, how he
turns his head slowly
from left to right
like the inexorable leap forward
"religion" the chairman leans over
to say to him
"reduces the population,
curbs progress"
Tenzin Gyatso feels a burning
sensation in his face
an intense fear
