對號入座

 

相片中

一雙眼珠轉動著幾個數字

我手持著一個

口裡含著另外一個

腿子跟著一個

全身緊張成整個

只要相片中的人開口

叫出號數

我就會對號入座

不是驚喜    就要發難

 

其實

是我的眼珠沒有停過

而相片中的

也不曾轉動過

MATCHING  NUMBERS

                   By Yuzhong

 

In the picture

A pair of eye sockets is rolling numbers

In my hands I am holding one

And in my mouth another one

My legs are following one more number

And my whole body is nervously matching the whole figure

If only the figure in the picture

Called the numbers

I would match the call

To be surprised or to roar

 

To tell the truth

My eye sockets have never been stopping to roll

While the pair in the picture

Has never been rolling numbers
