每個人

Everyone

在地球的另一邊

on the other side of the earth

倒著站立，傾聽，

standing upside down, listening,

每個人都在顛倒的圖景裏

Everyone on the reverse of the picture

在測度之眼的另一側面

on the other side of the measuring eye

五種音調，慢慢地，一次一次，

The five notes, slowly, over & over,

帶著凝聚的光，

and with some light intent,

而整個的空氣

And the whole air,

沒有邊緣，沒有中心，

no edge, no center,

那光，如此稀薄，如此迅疾——

And the light so thin, so fast—

別去傾聽詞語——

Don’t listen to the words—

它們只是一些你言說之物的小小形狀，

they’re only little shapes for what you’re saying,

它們只是杯子如果你口渴。但你並不口渴。

they’re only cups if you’re thirsty, you aren’t thirsty.
