你是否向自己介绍过自己

Have you introduced yourself to yourself

以一个门外来访者的方式？

The way a visitor at your door would?

是否在你的房间里为每一个

Have you found a seat in your room

你任性的自我找到一个位置

For every one of your wayward selves

以退回到他们自己的思想

To withdraw into their own thoughts

或望着前方发呆，仿佛那是一面镜子？

Or stare into space as if it were a mirror?

是否有一根可以点亮的火柴

Do you have a match you can light

让他们的影子在墙上跳舞

To make their shadows dance on the wall

或梦一般在天花板上漂浮

Or float dream-like on the ceiling

像夏天午后的树叶，

The way leaves do on summer afternoons,

直到他们鞠躬和幕落

Before they take their bow and the curtain drops

当火柴燃烧到你的指尖？

As the match burns down to your fingertips?
