飯館小記

I am sitting

In the morning

At the diner

On the corner

I am waiting

At the counter

For the man

To pour the coffee

And he fills it

Only halfway

And before

I even argue

He is looking

Out the window

At somebody

Coming in

“It is always

Nice to see you”

Says the man

Behind the counter

To the woman

Who has come in

She is shaking

Her umbrella

And I look

The other way

As they are kissing

Their hellos

And Im pretending

Not to see them

And instead

I pour the milk

I open

Up the paper

Theres a story

Of an actor

Who had died

While he was drinking

He was no one

I had heard of

And Im turning

To the 1）horoscope

And looking

For the funnies

When Im feeling

Someone watching me

And so

I raise my head

Theres a woman

On the outside

Looking inside

Does she see me？

No she does not

Really see me

Cause she sees

Her own reflection

And Im trying

Not to notice

That shes 2）hitching

Up her skirt

And while shes

Straightening her stockings

Her hair

Has gotten wet

Oh， this rain

It will continue

Through the morning

As Im listening

To the bells

Of the cathedral

I am thinking

Of your voice...

早晨，我坐在拐角處的小飯館里

在吧臺前，等著那個男人給我倒咖啡

他只倒了一半——我正想抗議

他看向窗外，有人進來了

“見到你總是很高興”，吧臺后的男人

對進來的女人說道，女人正抖落傘上的水珠

我轉(zhuǎn)過頭去，任他們親昵地貼面問好

我裝作沒在看他們，給自己加了些牛奶

我打開報紙，看到一篇關(guān)于一個男演員的報道

是醉酒而亡，可我不知道他是誰

我翻到星座欄目，想找些有趣的東西

直到感覺有人在看我，于是我抬起頭

窗外有個女人正在朝里看，是在看我嗎？

不，她并沒有看我，她只是在看玻璃鏡中的自己我試圖回避，因為她在理順自己的長襪時

裙子向上縮去，雨水打濕了她的頭發(fā)

雨會持續(xù)整個早晨，我聽著

教堂傳來的鐘聲，想念你的聲音……
