"Afternoon Drama," which describes an afternoon thundershower that scatters a play's audience, also makes use of a style of music used in Taiwanese opera to mourn the loss of outdoor theater: "This afternoon no one watched our Chen San and Wu Niang... each beat of the gongs and drums celebrates the reunion, but there are no cheers below and rain above."
寫一場午後雷陣雨，打散看戲人群景象的「下午的一齣戲」，則用類似歌仔調的曲式，吟出野台戲失落的傷感：「下午的陳三五娘，看戲的人沒半個，… …，鑼鼓聲，聲聲慶團圓，台下沒一聲好，台上全是雨。」
