It Can Be True
By Bai Hua
In Japan, someone who eats rat meat never eats mouse bones
otherwise, the weight of a rat-eater will become lighter for this
but the subtlety does not need to be understood nationwide.
If you haven't been to Italy, it's hard to appreciate this verse--
"the priests flying up and down above the gold like swallows."
Illusion of an instant changes a person's mind rather than his gaze.
Umbrella! Umbrella! After the whole worldwide, Hong Kong--
"Almost you're there, but still on the course midway through."
Why do people torture themselves but refuse to forgive and absolve?
It can be true, the ocean has shown us what we really are.
It can be true, we can exactly take 100 years as a day.
It can be true, "nothing but my evil is believable and real."

真的
柏桦
在日本，吃鼠肉但不吃老鼠的骨头
否则吃鼠人的体重将会由此变轻
不过这其中的奥妙不需要人人都懂。
不去意大利，你很难体会到这句诗——
“神父们像燕子在金子上面飞翔。”
瞬间幻觉改变的不是人的思想是目光。
雨伞！雨伞！海阔天空之后，香港——
“你几乎就要抵达，却又总在途中。”
人为何要折磨自己而少了宽恕和原谅？
真的，海洋已让我们显出了真面目。
真的，完全可以把一百年看作一天。
真的“唯有我邪恶的一切才真实可信。”
