the burden of being bama
it’s living on
sawdust and shrimp paste
to save for diamonds
it’s being a lustrous luna
in a bamboo tube
thinking “how dainty i am!”
it’s being a haystack fire
flaring suddenly
fading out swiftly
it’s aching for the aunt
from the embrace of the mother
what’s your key
majority in minor-c or minority in major-d
ceasefire in flat-b or cease-identity in sharp-g
give me a falsetto
let’s improvise
no need for harmony
what would you choose
want, rage or ignorance
defeatism or maldevelopment
an increase in viral load or a decrease in internet speed
sexual preoccupation or self-denial
power cuts or power crazes
a bag of rice or an ounce of democracy
myopic blitheness, escapist wizardry and alchemy
syncretization of incompatibilities
internalization of irreconcilabilities
the four noble truths
the four oaths………

the menu is endless
the die’s been cast
your karma is you
life short
suffering tall
plenty of water
no fish, no fish at all
做缅族人的压力
以锯木屑和虾酱
为生计
为了存钱买钻石
作为一个竹筒内
光明的月神
想着「我是多么精巧呢!」
作为干草堆中的火
突然燃烧
迅速熄灭
在母亲的怀抱中
为阿姨而感到疼痛
你是甚么调?
主要是C 小调或少量D 大调
停火于B ♭ 或终止身份于G♯
给我假音
不如即兴
不需要和谐
你会选择甚么
渴望、愤怒或无知
失败主义或发育不良
增加病毒上载量或减慢上网速度
入迷性爱或自我否定
权力约束或权力疯狂
一袋大米或一盎司民主
短视乐天,逃避主义者的神乎其技与炼金术
不相容的相容
不能和解的内化
四圣谛
四弘誓愿……

corpse flower blooms in Washington
what an ill omen!
what a good omen!
this voodoo lily blooms
when the bodhisattva is awakened!
when the end is nigh!
when the seed is sown!
when the coast is clear!
to sponge with it!
her stench takes you to fetid human flesh in syria
that will take you to summer roadkill in lapland
that will take you to putrefied fish pickle in the delta
that will take you to places between his toes
floriculturists call her deformed dick
she calls herself cassandra
泰坦魔芋花在华盛顿盛开
甚么凶兆!
甚么好兆头!
这种巫司百合盛放
当菩萨被唤醒!
当末日将临!
当种子播种!
当海岸明净!
和牠一起寄生!
她的腥臭味带你到叙利亚恶臭的人肉去
也将带你到拉普兰的夏日路上被撞死的动物去
也将带你到三角洲腐烂的腌鱼去
也将带你到他脚趾之间的地方
花匠称她为畸形的阳具
她称自己为卡桑德拉
the rain maker
switch off the lights, turn the projector on
sit back and relax, let’s enjoy the mirages
on kayan rice wine and cheese crackers
a few simple rules here
you may bite the hand that feeds you,
just don’t feast on it
don’t multitask if you don’t know
how to run north for a southbound hare
don’t kill two robins with one word
if you don’t know how to lie to one of them
don’t chew the shoes and the drapery
don’t be a member of any poetic community
don’t be a rose fancier
you don’t want to be another down comforter
fine feathers are unfit for us humans
they make you too hot within
too cold without
look how the dormant underdog,
taken for granted rotten-dead,
has sprung back to life on dukkha media!
sickened with divided attention disorder
it jumps over the crown, chokes and
strangles the aristocratic order
the kingdom now needs a flea leap forward
the newly elected leader may be comely
just don’t expect her to change the clime
isn’t it fascinating?
how each and every cowry trapped in a hollowed-out
bamboo
houses an entire symphony orchestra
造雨者
关灯,打开投影机
坐好放松,享受
长颈族米酒和芝士饼干的幻觉
这里有少许简单的规则
你可以恩将仇报,
只是不可尽情享受
不要处理多项事务,如果你不知道
如何为向南行的野兔而向北行
不要用一个字,杀死两只知更鸟
如果你不知道如何向其中一只说谎
不要咀嚼鞋子和布料
不要成为任何诗歌团体的一员
不要成为玫瑰爱好者
你不想成为另一个伤心的慰问者
精致的羽绒不适合我们人类
它们让你穿着太热
没有了就太冷
看看睡着的弱者, 想当然会烂死,
已经通过苦道反弹回人生!
患了注意力分散失调
它跳过冠冕,掐住和
勒死贵族的秩序
现在王国需要一只跳蚤的跃进
新当选的领导人可能秀丽
只是不用希望她改变风土
是不是吸引呢?
每一个贝壳如何陷入容纳了一整队交响乐团的
挖空的竹子里面
strawman story
i am going to rest
just a straw mat for my back
like a drowning man grasping a straw
socrates sips his poison through a straw
life is a squiggle drawn in the water with a straw
emptiness in form, form in emptiness in a straw
can anyone share with me her last straw
straw for the right, grass for the left
the winner is the loser in drawing straws
like a rabbit burrowing into a straw hat
i am going to nest
you can ring my bell anytime with a straw
in a strawy strawy night
in a world built with mud bricks without straw
i am a strawy-eyed owl
i suck up my strawberry brew with my built-in straw
not all the straws are straight
my veins are straws of blood
i was born in a barn of straws
稻草人故事
我要休息了
只有稻草席让我躺
就像溺水者抓住一根稻草
苏格拉底用稻草啜饮毒药
生命是用稻草画在水中的乱写字
形式是空虚,由空虚的稻草所形成
有没有人可以和我分享她最后一根稻草
稻草给右边,青草给左边
获胜者是绘画稻草的失败者
好像兔子一样钻到稻草帽里
我要回巢穴了
你可以随时用稻草敲响我的门铃
在稻草遍野的夜上
在用泥砖而没有用稻草建造的世界之中
我是一只稻草眼的猫头鹰
我用我内置的稻草吸喝自己的草苺啤酒
不是所有的稻草都是笔直的
我的血管是血的稻草
我出生在稻草仓库
