羨魚 蝶幻夢生莊 莊生夢幻蝶 A Butterfly dreams that it is Zhuangzi all day

A hazy palindrome poem, in Chinese and English, by Frank C Yue: 


      《魚羨蝶幻莊》打油回文詩  羨魚 


         蝶   幻  夢  生  莊,
         莊   生  夢  幻  蝶。
         魚   羨    靜   觀   余,
         余 觀  靜  羨 魚。


"Fish Envious of Buttrfly-turned-Zhuangzi
-- by Frank C Yue
  
A Butterfly dreams that it is                          Zhuangzi all day;
Zhuangzi dreams that he is such a              Butterfly gay!
A kept fish is envious of meditative              me;
The silent, envious pet fish I watch              in peace.
