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?
