帶詩上時裝店

吵著要上時裝店

嘟著嘴的女兒

嫌她的詩人老爹

用老掉了牙的打字機

為她裁製

襤褸的衣不蔽體

勉強地他從電腦裡找出

一套款式雅緻剪裁合身的

字體

讓她穿上

然後站在那裡

歪著頭端詳

突然悲從中來

摟著玉立亭亭的女兒

號啕大哭

带诗上时装店

吵着要上时装店

嘟着嘴的女儿

嫌她的诗人老爹

用老掉了牙的打字机

为她裁制

褴褛的衣不蔽体

勉强地他从电脑里找出

一套款式雅致剪裁合身的

字体

让她穿上

然後站在那里

歪着头端详

突然悲从中来

搂着玉立亭亭的女儿

号啕大哭

TAKING HIS POEM TO A FASHION STORE

Frowning and pouting

she declares

that she can’t stand any longer

the rags he made for her

with his beat-up old typewriter

she wants to go

to a fashion store

Reluctantly he takes her to his new computer

and watches her try on

several fonts of various sizes

when he sees his little girl suddenly change

into a pretty woman

he cradles her in his arm

and breaks down crying

SIZE 12! 

──Ode to Larry Turner

we shouted almost at the same time

as if we were all fashion experts

while he just sat there and smiled

looking proudly

at his youngest daughter

the poem he conceived and delivered last night

with the aid

of his new computer and laser printer
