summer palace

Cyprinopsis auratus: by alchemic selection and crossbreeding,
a golden fish is created (what other powers are in store?).

If you like a slice of the kingdom, reproduce it in miniature, 
the famous waterfront shopping of Suzhou, for example.

A model garden is also repeatable. The pause & click
of witnessing by the pond’s pavilion stills the king within.

Climb to inspect enfolding vistas above a sunless sea,
the massing sounds of imperial crickets gather intensity,

The Empress Dowager’s theatre of special effects inter-
rupted by the gentlemen from Portlock & their incessant knocking.
