《他们在办公室撕去了我的脸》 by 库瑟

他们在办公室撕去了我的脸  库瑟 林木译

 

他们在办公室撕去了我的脸。

那个夜晚我终于察觉到

它再也长不回来了，于是我决定

割开手腕。什么也没有流出；

我是空的。不久之后我的双手

也掉落了。如今在工作中

他们允许我用断肢打字。

他们因“帮助”了我而感到欣慰，

而我练就了速度与自信。

 

They Had Torn Off My Face At The Office

by Ted Kooser

 

They had torn off my face at the office.

The night that I finally noticed

that it was not growing back, I decided

to slit my wrists. Nothing ran out;

I was empty. Both of my hands fell off

shortly thereafter. Now at my job

they allow me to type with the stumps.

It pleases them to have helped me,

and I gain in speed and confidence.
