御用閒人

●讀非馬前輩雙語詩「配角」有感而作

後備輪胎

把自己匿藏在

最黑暗的行李廂裡面

閒置

頂多也只是作作狀

裝飾品般坐在車尾巴

晒晒太陽，淋淋雨

靜待陛下

一聲洩氣的爆發

才冠冕

堂皇地

被派上用場

The idle man

              By Yu-Zhong

The spare tire

Hides himself inside

The darkest trunk

Barely wanted

Even the best he’d done

Was hanging around some car

Like decoration, doing a sun or rain bath

What he’s really looking forward to

Is an exclusive “flat tire”, Dude!

He then would proudly

Be crowned

A helpful wanted

芝加哥☆非馬雙語詩

配角

樓梯把自己蹬得

空咚空咚響

同電梯賽跑

就像上次他們拍警匪

追逐戰那樣

緊張逼真

SUPPORTING  CASTS
                   by  William Marr

Almost as real and exciting
as the hot-pursuit scenes
from a police story
the stairs
racing the elevators
wind themselves
down with all sorts of commotion and empty
echoes
