Legislators Sixtus Leung (left) and Yau Wai-ching at a pro-independence rally in Hong Kong yesterday.

It looks like it’s all going wrong
In the once-happy land of Hong Kong

Themselves slightly more free
But Beiing’s response has been strong.

It is a hard day for the very lonely cock. Perhaps tomorrow it’ll be better. Who knows? Anyway, it can’t get any worse. Or can it? Not only is the production of eggs at stake for the very lonely cock, in this strange world everything is getting stranger by the minute.
