Imprisoned crickets in carved walnut shells
stridulate in latticed captivity;
but the maggots in the rice do not cry.
Imprisoned crickets in carved walnut shells
survive for years, but silenced females die.

imprisoned crickets in carved walnut shells
stridulate in latticed captivity.
I wrote this in the late 1990s after I had visited Beijing and had seen the old
men in parks with their pet crickets and birds in cages.
I visited the Ashmolean this week and came across these containers for keeping
one’s pet cricket in and I remembered my poem.

inTwo paths diverged in the woods.
I chose the one indicated by the left fork
and that made not a whit of difference –
as far as I know.
