Mark Strand, Answears
Why did you travel?
Because the house was cold.
Why did you travel?
Because it is what I have always done between sunset and sunrise.
What did you wear?
I wore a blue suit, a white shirt, yellow tie, and yellow socks.
What did you wear?
I wore nothing. A scarf of pain kept me warm.
Who did you sleep with?
I slept with a different woman each night.
Who did you sleep with?
I slept alone. I have always slept alone.
Why did you lie to me?
I always thought I told the truth.
Why did you lie to me?
Because the truth lies like nothing else and I love the truth.
Why are you going?
Because nothing means much to me anymore.
Why are you going?
I don't know. I have never known.
How long shall I wait for you?
Do not wait for me. I am tired and I want to lie down.
Are you tired and do you want to lie down?
Yes, I am tired and I want to lie down.
你為什麼去旅行？
因為這房子好冷。
你為什麼去旅行？
因為那是我在日出日落間總是去做的事。
你穿什麼衣服？
我穿藍色西裝，白色襯衫，黃色領帶，還有黃色短靴。
你穿什麼衣服？
我什麼也沒穿。一條痛苦的圍巾維持我的溫暖。
你跟誰一起睡？
我每個晚上跟一個不同的女人一起睡。
你跟誰一起睡？
我自己睡。我總是自己睡。
你為什麼對我說謊？
因為真理不像其他東西一樣說謊而我熱愛真理。
你為什麼要走？
因為再也沒什麼東西對我意義重大。
你為什麼要走？
我不知道。我從不曾知道。
我該等待你多久？
不要等我。我累了而且我想躺下。
你累了而且你想躺下嗎？
是的，我累了而且我想躺下。
