《狂轰乱炸》
朱剑

看着
半空中
绽放的烟花
儿子说
哇
狂轰乱炸
我笑说
又不是打仗
脑海中却
浮现出
俄罗斯空袭
乌克兰的
视频画面

​PITCH LIKE KING BILLY

Watching
fireworks unfolding
up in the air
my son says
wah,
pitching bomb balls!
I laugh and say,
this ain’t no war.
But in my mind,
there are the pictures
of Russian raids
on Ukraine.

OLD NEWS

In my hometown,
villages around
combined their primary schools,
because the kids in each one
were less than the chicken
raised by the school.
They had hardly more students
than pigs.

《旧闻新谈》

在我老家
几个村的小学
合并在了一起
只因每个村里
上学的孩子
比学校养的鸡
还要少
也比养的猪
多不了多少
