Asian Butterfly (English)

Asian Butterfly

I again stand idle at a crosswalk waiting for the light to turn red and the little guy to appear. He doesn’t. Just a remnant of the big flashing red hand. Guess this is what I get for daydreaming. I noticed that one of my shoes were untied. I crouched and tied it quickly anticipating that the light would change just as fast… wrong again.

I looked ahead twice over, praying that my eyes weren’t deceiving me. This was real. SHE was real!

This new arrival startled me for a moment like a deer caught in the headlights. I didn’t know how she got there or where she came from but I did know where she was going.

Towards me!

She was Asian and exotic by design but mysterious and lovely by the beholder.

She too was waiting to make her way through the intersecting threshold. But to where?

A short gust of wind began to blow between us. It blew her hair in front of her face creating a blur in her vision. My hair is nappy, it never moves.

What a stimulating cultural diffusion.

I could tell the wind bothered her but she didn’t seem to mind. She glanced at me while she reached for something in her purse she was carrying.

I looked away, not allowing her to have any thoughts of the two of us. Those thoughts were mine, but I’m willing to share.

I looked at my watch to insure her that I wasn’t paying any attention. After a few moments I looked back at her. The purse she had cradle in her arm like a child had a picture of a butterfly
on it with Chinese characters.

She took out a comb and began to comb her hair back, then pulled it back tight and with her
comb rolled it around and pinned it in a bun leaving only a few strands of hair in the front.

Wow!

I looked to see if the traffic like was changing and it was. From green, to yellow and…

No! Not yet, not now!

The walk light came into view and we both made our way to each other. I looked at her a few seconds more, for a few more seconds of pleasure.

I noticed that when we passed, she glanced at me and gave a smile, her hair strands pulling my way as if to reach out and touch. I made my way across and looked back to see where she was
going, she was gone, in that instant.

Bye bye butterfly.

Asian Butterfly (Mandarin)

亞洲蝴蝶

我再站立無所事事在等待光的行人穿越道轉動紅色和小人出現。 他不。 大閃動的紅色手的殘餘。 猜測這是什麼我為作白日夢得到。 我注意我的一雙鞋子被解開了。 蹲下了并且栓了它迅速期望的我光將改變正快速地… 再錯誤。

我朝了前看兩次，祈禱我的眼睛沒有欺騙我。 這是真正的。 她是真正的!

這新的到來一會兒使我震驚像在車燈捉住的鹿。 我不知道怎麼她到那裡或她來了從，但的地方我知道何處她去。

往我!

她由旁觀者是亞洲和異乎尋常由設計，但神奇和可愛的。

她太等待通過相交的門限做她的方式。 但對的地方？

一場短的風暴開始吹在我們之間。 它吹了她的頭髮在她的創造迷離的面孔前面在她的視覺。 我的頭髮是尿布，它從未移動。

stimulating文化擴散。

我可能告訴風打擾了她，但她沒有似乎介意。 她掃視了我，當她為某事到達了在她運載的她的錢包時。

我看了，不允許她有想法我們倆。 那些想法是我的，但我是願意分享。

我看我的手錶保險她我沒有給予任何注意。 我一會兒後掃視了她。 她在她的胳膊生長了的錢包有一隻蝴蝶的圖片對此以中國文字。

她去掉梳子并且開始梳她的頭髮後面，然後拉扯它緊緊和用她的梳子滾動了它并且別住了它在把頭髮留在的仅幾條子線小圓麵包在前面。

哇!

我看看紅綠燈是否改變，并且它是。 從綠色，到黃色和…

否! 不，不現在! 我猜測閣下認為我看了足够他的一創作。

步行光開始了看見，并且我們倆互相做了我們的方式。 我更看她的幾秒鐘，在最後幾秒鐘樂趣。

我注意，當我們通過了，她掃視了我并且給了微笑，她的拉扯我的方式，好像提供援助和接觸的頭髮子線。 我做了我的方式并且看了回到看見何處她去，她進來，由於立即的。

再見，次級蝴蝶。
