I want to remember the picture

Wander into the picture

Thread the threads of sheep in the picture

If this were allegory you would come to love me

You would see that sheep are good (though greasy)
你会看到绵羊们很惬意（尽管油腻）

You would not need drinking
你不需要喝酒

You would not need pills for your longing
你不需要药物抚慰你的渴求

If this were a picture we would live together in the river
如果这是一个图像我们会一起生活在河里

Turtles would welcome us in the wide and deep river
乌龟会在宽阔深处的河水中欢迎我们

We cannot swim because it is dark and we are under water
我们不能游泳因为它是黑暗的并且我们在水下

The sheep are marvelous and have begun to take pictures
这些绵羊真了不起已经开始拍照

We can step inside and become something else entirely
我们可以走进去并完全变成其他的东西

Like a picture of sheep
像一张绵羊的照片
