不止我一个人怀疑

What planet are you from, stranger?

你是来自另一个星球的神秘生物

You have an outer space violin in you left ear

你的左耳里有一把外太空的小提琴

that plays a string of quiet clouds

能够在嘈杂的地铁里

in the noisy subway.

演奏出一团安静的星云

I suspected it, and others, too, suspected it

你的视网膜上有奇怪的科技

and, true: you have a strange device on your retina

总能在大街上发现一两张

that can always catch the small ads falling from the sky

穿过大气层陨落下来的小广告

through the windy air down to the streets.

甚至连你身上那些沉睡的脂肪

Even the sleeping fats in your body are suspiciously

都美得极其可疑

beautiful.

它们是你藏在皮肤下的翅膀

I worry that one day you will

我总担心有一天你会

wing your way back to that other planet with the potato chips

挥动着缀满薯片的大翅膀飞回外星

that are left in your hands decorating your big wings.

留下我孤独地破译

And I will be left here alone trying to decipher

你写在一滴雨、一片雪里的宇宙日记

your space diary written in snow.

好在今天早上你在厨房做饭的时候

I worry. I always worry.

我偷偷地拉开了后脑勺的诗歌天线

Fortunately: I've snapped a wavelength of your planet

截获了一段你那个星球的电波

by pulling out a poetic antenna

一个很有爱的异次元声音

in the back of my head

正向我们家阳台五米远处

while you are cooking in the kitchen.

一颗老槐树上的啄木鸟下达指令：

You are cooking again, this morning.

让她在他身边作终身卧底

A little voice of alien vowels issues an order

千万不要试图把她唤醒

to the woodpecker

five meters

from our balcony: Let her stay there

as our life-long

undercover

at his side, do not try to wake her up!
