Liu Dewen
BENNENUNGEN
Die Gemüse anbauen, sind Gemüsebauern.
Die Obst anbauen, sind Obstbauern.
Die Tee anbauen, heißen Teebauern.
Die Blumen anbauen, nennt man Blumenbauern.
Die Tabak pflanzen und rösten, heißen Tabakbauern.
Die Seidenraupen halten, nennt man Seidenbauern.
… …
Felder bestellen
und dabei Gedichte schreiben,
das sind Poesiebauern.
Was die betrifft,
die in kalten Bergen
von der Natur leben,
das heißt, die sich winden auf der großen Erde,
im Frost Käfer suchen und im Sommer Gras
für ihre Familien
da haben die Leute
ein anderen Namen:
Strohvolk,
das ist auch ein Wort für
ich.

Qing Longzi
MY POETRY HAS CHEATED TOO
Your poetry’s tubes have been tied.
I can tell, your loose tracts
have been plugged with a metal ring.
Actually, my poetry has cheated too.
Before I went out
I swallowed a few pills of Viagra.
But however I tried,
Poetry Periodical, state-owned flagship,
you could never get pregnant. My poetry
must be lonely for life.

Man Man
SIXTY-SIX
Coming out of People’s Park
I run into a shower
and hide in the guardhouse at the gate.
The grandpa on duty asks for my age
and tells me his.
He picks up a peanut,
chews with a sigh:
Today’s society is a good one.
In the times of the First Emperor,
66 years,
if you’re not dead you’d get buried alive.
