WHOEVER'S found out what location
compassion (heart's imagination)
can be contacted at these days,
is herewith urged to name the place;
and sing about it in full voice,
and dance like crazy and rejoice
beneath the frail birch that appears
to be upon the verge of tears.
誰能在今日找到可聯絡”同情”(心之想像)之處
請指出它的位置
並 高聲為它謳歌 瘋狂起舞
在那快要落淚的脆弱的樺樹下歡樂地歌唱吧!
I TEACH silence
in all languages
through intensive examination of:
the starry sky,
the Sinanthropus' jaws,
a grasshopper's hop,
an infant's fingernails,
plankton,
a snowflake.
我用各種語言教導沉默
用繁星點點的夜空
用中國猿人的下巴
用蚱蜢的彈跳
用嬰兒的指甲
用浮游生物
用雪花
嚴密檢視.
I RESTORE lost love.
Act now! Special offer!
You lie on last year's grass
bathed in sunlight to the chin
while winds of summers past
caress your hair and seem
to lead you in a dance.
For further details, write: "Dream."
我找回失去的舊愛
趕快行動吧! 現在是特別優惠時間! 錯過了便機會不再!
你躺在去年的綠草地上
全身沐浴在陽光下
而逝去的夏日微風輕撫著你的髮, 彷彿
要帶你跳一隻舞
想知道更多細節, 寫下: “夢.”

FOR PROMISES
made by my spouse,
who's tricked so many with his sweet
colors and fragrances and sounds -
dogs barking, guitars in the streets -
into believing that they still
might conquer loneliness and fright,
I cannot be responsible.
Mr. Day's widow, Mrs. Night.
至於我先生做出的承諾嘛
他已經用甜美的外表 香味 和以下的聲音—
狗的吠叫, 街上的吉他
誘騙了許多人, 使他們以為可以克服寂寞和恐懼
但我無法對此負責
我是白晝先生的遺孀, 黑夜太太.
