Yu Wei
GESCHICHTE
Wir machen unten Sachen.
Sie erzählen auf der Bühne Geschichten.
Wir strengen uns an mit den Sachen.
Sie erzählen fleißig eine feine Geschichte.
Sie erzählen sprudelnd und sprühend.
Wir machen die Sachen, dass uns der Schweiß rinnt.
Wir machen eine Sache fertig.
Sie erzählen noch ihre Geschichten.
Ich bemerke, was wir machen
ist echt nicht so spannend wie ihre Geschichten.
Übersetzt von MW im November 2024

故事 | 余伟
我们在台下做事情
他们在台上讲故事
我们力争把事情做好
他们努力把故事讲精彩
他们讲故事讲得唾沫星四溅
我们做事情累得汗珠子摔八瓣
我们把一件事情做完了
他们还在讲故事
我发现我们做的事情
真的不如他们讲的故事动听

SAGRADA FAMILIA
there is hope.
we are still building.
if we may,
we may take centuries
of common era
of common errors.
concrete is clumsy,
all our efforts.
it’ll take time.

GOD
god is for humans
god is for earthquakes
god is for bishops
god’s for the birds
god is for pawns
god is for efforts
god is for nothing
god’s beyond words
