I Sit at the Food Court... (圖)

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

禮拜五下午，卡羅瑟商場飲食部的快速午餐


印度餐？聽來不錯
刺舌的胡椒
開味的加俚
光是想有人徹夜
熬著這缽雞
已讓我心曠神怡

細嚼慢咽
穩握著白塑膠勺
每一口裏
品味著時光流逝
與廚師手藝的精湛
巨副的星條旗
懸掛在百米外的溜冰場
孩子們滑著
象歡樂的鳥兒飛翔
在白天的空白

翻開喜愛的詩歌書本
片刻的放縱
於無拘無束的童年

讀到詩中傷懷的那段時
一個結實，麵無笑容
粗糙金發的女孩在鄰桌
坐下，背對著我
三英寸的股溝
侵入我的沉思
我數著點綴
朦朧而恣意的股痕裏的
雀斑

我沒有笑出聲
合上書，思考著
這新款式
嗯，午餐還不錯

like what you said :)

hahaha, that's funny . . . that means we can all be "healers" one way or the other :))

oops! forgot my smile
:):);)

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]

haha, are you teasing me?

"... count the freckles
Decorating the shadowy, unapologetic fissure"
