A snooze in a cell: how lovely.
The sleep-dragon runs for hours,
Runs to Heaven.
Then I wake up.
Transferred to Nanning
No rope-iron chains, now,
Jingling like jade rings.
I may be a jailbird but I walk
Like a parade of judges.
Questions:
1. Analyze the significance of the images of the sleep-dragon and the jade rings. Comment on the tone of the poems.
2. What are the political implications of a Vietnamese political leader in a prison cell?
