All morning

從早上開始

from each corner of the city

全城的快餐店裏人們都嘟嚷著

people in cafés

梵高

begin to mumble

和他那一盤盤

of van Gogh

煎蛋

and his platters of omelets

這是很自然的大家盯著

It’s natural everyone stares

端放眼前一碟碟

at the dish set before him

向日葵

one sunflower

都屏息靜待

quietly awaiting

它們旋轉

rotation

如果有那麼一架影印機

if only in a photocopier

（像電視廣告所說）

(as seen on TV)

問題是

The question is

如何把它偷取回來

how to steal a true copy

又覆印了掛回去

then hang it back up

如果有那麼一雙

If only a pair of

異想天開的手

wildly fantasized hands

可逕直伸進影像裏

could reach right into the image

（像一齣經典）

(as in classical drama)

問題是

The problem is

如何把它

how to snatch it

隨手拈來又阻截

blocking the bids

爭相叫價

of the bidders

的腳步

their footfalls

不從熒幕

chasing down the screen

追出……

Today the whole city’s breakfast’s

今天

sunflower with ham

今天全城的早餐

But how to choose

是火腿向日葵

between the dish

但該如何取捨

and the art

那一盤盤點心

How to lock its color, its flavor,

與藝術

its fragrance, into the frame

如何將色香味凝定

to carry home

又連同畫框

No surprise how we finally

端回家裏

deliver the ham

所以不奇怪我們

to our mouths

最後以傳統的手法

as always

將一塊塊火腿

bite after bite

送進嘴裏

then shut away

又將時值三億元

the sunflower blooming

一朵朵向日葵

its three hundred million

永久收藏

like the ecstasy of one genius

像一個天才

dismayed to meet

發現另一個天才時的狂喜

another

與沮喪
