I Sit at the Food Court... (图)

(2005-04-15 17:22:29) 下一个

I Sit at the Food Court in a Colossal Shopping Mall To Have a Quick Lunch on a Friday Afternoon __________________________________________________________ Indian sounds good today The tongue-stinging pepper And the chakra-opening curry The mere thought of someone spending A whole night cooking A pot of chicken delights me I eat my food gingerly Balancing the white plastic spoon Tasting the time & the chef’s expertise In each and every bite A gigantic American flag hangs A hundred feet over the ice rink Where children skate Like little happy birds Flying on the day’s emptiness I open my favorite book of poetry Indulging myself for a moment In those reckless days of childhood I am coming to the sad part of a poem When a brawny, unsmiling girl with coarse Blonde hair sits at the next table Her back side facing me And three inches of her butt cleavage Invades my meditation I can almost count the freckles Decorating the shadowy, unapologetic fissure I did not laugh I closed my book and ponder The new fashion The lunch was good :4/15/05

印度餐？听来不错
刺舌的胡椒
开味的加俚
光是想有人彻夜
熬着这钵鸡
已让我心旷神怡

细嚼慢咽
稳握着白塑胶勺
每一口里
品味着时光流逝
与厨师手艺的精湛
巨副的星条旗
悬挂在百米外的溜冰场
孩子们滑着
象欢乐的鸟儿飞翔
在白天的空白

翻开喜爱的诗歌书本
片刻的放纵
于无拘无束的童年

读到诗中伤怀的那段时
一个结实，面无笑容
粗糙金发的女孩在邻桌
坐下，背对着我
三英寸的股沟
侵入我的沉思
我数着点缀
朦胧而恣意的股痕里的
雀斑

我没有笑出声
合上书，思考着
这新款式
嗯，午餐还不错

like what you said :)

on my trip back from Hawaii, i saw a woman who could cure insomnia by only donating the freckles on her face for sleepless to count :)

nah, just kidding;)
LTG 2005-04-15 17:48:41 回复 悄悄话 haha, are you teasing me?

Decorating the shadowy, unapologetic fissure"
