《深切》by 阿什贝利

阿什贝利：深切

如果这是七月，为什么它看起来像八月？

失望地成长到真实世界里

我自己已不问这些问题。

那家餐馆为什么

拉上百叶窗？

月亮的余辉像一个深切的发网

投射到体育场

蝙蝠的口水流到排水沟里。

如果每人都如此热衷于展示他们所知，

为什么不公开人类学教学大纲？

Deeply Incised  

John Ashberry

 

   If this is July, why does it look like August?

   Sadly growing up into the real world

   I don’t even ask these questions myself.

   Why are the shutters drawn

   over that restaurant?

   The moon’s backwash is like a deeply incised

   hairnet against the stadium

   Bats drool into the gutter.

   If everybody is so intent on illustrating what they know,

   why is the ant syllabus closed?
