Caveat: Another Go-Round

I have renewed my visa for another year. It's always year-to-year.

Not much incident to it. Sometimes when I'm frustrated, I spend time saying "I won't renew for another year." But I always do. I guess I prefer stability to instability, for now. 

I sat in the immigration office for about 30 minutes, listening to Arabic being spoken behind me and a mix of Uzbek and Russian being spoken in front of me, and passing the time deciphering a sign about amnesty for illegal aliens who self-deport – which is to say, if you leave we won't arrest you and put you in jail, which doesn't really strike me as an amnesty so much as a way for the government to avoid housing them.

The sky was almost green with a brewing thunderstorm. In the midwest, we'd call it tornado weather, but don't think Korea gets many tornadoes.

Caveat: Nonnet #33

I made this nonnet after reading the article I mentioned in my previous blog post.
(Poem #58 on new numbering scheme)

A new rain of unfortunate ants
has arrived, my fellow workers!
Let's welcome them to our dark
yet thriving, cold abode!
Let's show them the walls!
Let's move this dirt!
Let's begin
to eat(,)
ants!
