    The layers

I have walked through many websites,
some of them I like,
and some of them I do not like.
Oh, Lao Yang have made a tribe
out of his true affections.

exulting somewhat,
with my will intact to go
wherever I need to go,

In my darkest night,

and I roamed through websites,
a nimbus-clouded Lao Yang’ voice

Live in the layers
