从母亲的沉睡中，我跌落到这个国家，

From my mother's sleep I fell into the State,

我蜷缩在它的腹中，直到我潮湿的皮毛凝结。

And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.

在离地六英里的高空，我从生活的梦里消散。

Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,

我被黑色高射炮和噩梦一样的战斗机惊醒。

I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.

我死后，他们用水管把我冲出了炮塔。

When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.
