阿什贝利：深切

如果这是七月，为什么它看起来像八月？

失望地成长到真实世界里

我自己已不问这些问题。

那家餐馆为什么

拉上百叶窗？

月亮的余辉像一个深切的发网

投射到体育场

蝙蝠的口水流到排水沟里。

如果每人都如此热衷于展示他们所知，

为什么不公开人类学教学大纲？

Deeply Incised  

John Ashberry

 

   If this is July, why does it look like August?

   Sadly growing up into the real world

   I don’t even ask these questions myself.

   Why are the shutters drawn

   over that restaurant?

   The moon’s backwash is like a deeply incised

   hairnet against the stadium

   Bats drool into the gutter.

   If everybody is so intent on illustrating what they know,

   why is the ant syllabus closed?
