《感傷時刻或法棍為何過馬路？》 by 赫肖恩

感傷時刻或法棍為何過馬路？ /羅伯特·赫肖恩 林木譯

 

不要吃太多麵包

我漫不經心地說

這裏的分量真大

 

我的兒子，他的發際線可能

有點後退了，問我

你剛剛真的對我

說了這個嗎？

 

他不知道的是

當我們一起走路時

當我們走到

行道邊緣

我有時會不自覺地

想去牽他的手
 

Sentimental Moment or Why Did the Baguette Cross the Road? 

—Robert Hershon

 

Don't fill up on bread

I say absent-mindedly

The servings here are huge

 

My son, whose hair may be

receding a bit, says

Did you really just

say that to me?

 

What he doesn't know

is that when we're walking

together, when we get

to the curb

I sometimes start to reach

for his hand
