CHARACTERS ON A FUSE BOX

On an old city street in Fengnan,
I saw a fuse box by the road.
It was painted in red.
In the middle of the paint,
there were two characters in black.
Very striking!
Framing them with my phone —
One stroke is rather feeble
in the second character of “freedom”.
But it can’t be ‘confession’!
Freedom is such a famous word.

电箱上的字
君儿

在丰南一条古街
见到一个路边电箱
箱体涂上了红色
油漆中间
有两个黑体字
十分醒目
手机定格出——
自由由字的一竖
写得很淡即使如此
也不会把它当成自白
自白怎么比得上
自由有名呢

ZEICHEN AUF DEM STROMKASTEN

In einer Altstadtgasse in Fengnan
seh ich am Rand einen Stromkasten.
Der ist rot lackiert.
In der Mitte
sind zwei schwarze Zeichen,
die fallen ins Auge.
Mit dem Handy festhalten –
beim zweiten Zeichen von “Freiheit”
ist ein Strich nur ganz schwach.
Sieht fast aus wie “Geständnis”.
Aber das kann es nicht sein,
Freiheit ist so berühmt!
