Rush


Boy O Boy,
What is the rush
That you must do your homework,
Instead at home,
On the floor of a moving MRT train?

And people of this big city,
Impose must we
That the only thing the generations of future can learn
Is rush?

男孩
為何做功課需要如此地急
急到你需要趴在運作中的捷運地板上
而不是在家中做你的功課

而這大城的人啊
我們需要如此強逼
使得這群下一代唯一所學到的
只有「急」嗎

  2. Yes, it is certainly interesting of what exactly the rush is.

    The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this was that this boy must be rushing off his homework so he could then watch TV later at home, and this is why I put in my writing indicating that he was doing his homework.

    However, was he really doing his homework?

    That I really know not, but what I do want to stress is the reason for such a rush, of many topaz speedwell had listed. I guess this piece of photo impacted me because of my recent situation of getting up at six (or five, depending on the necessity) in the early morning for school and arriving home at ten at night. Whenever I am on the commuting train and see this huge amount of people squeezing each other around me, I simply have to wonder the need for this rush.
