想  念
 
 
 把耳朵貼在自來水水管上
 聽
 聽遠方那條河道的聲音
 
 嘩啦啦
 嘩啦啦
 嘩啦啦
 
 打開水龍頭
 水龍頭顫抖了一下
 沒水

 WISHFUL THINKING
 
 
 Press my ear against the water pipe
 Listen
 Listen to sounds of the distant river
 
 Gurgle
 Gurgle
 Gurgle
 
 I turn on the faucet
 The faucet gives a shudder
 No water

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 自  白
 
 
 我一生的理想
 是砌一座三百層的大樓
 
 大樓裏空空蕩蕩
 只放著一粒芝麻

 SELF-ACCOUNT
 
 
 My lifelong ideal
 Is to erect a three-hundred-story office tower
 
 The inside of the building will be bare
 Except for a single sesame seed
