EVERYONE
Everyone realizes they’re obsolete.
Everyone smells how they are getting old.
Everyone lives in a dream,
wants to catch up, can’t find their legs.
Everyone’s reading is all broken up.
Everyone’s thoughts are growing mould.
Everyone realizes their answers
to all their questions are blown away.
Everyone gives up what they’re doing,
eating when hungry, drinking when thirsty, head getting heavy, falling asleep.
Even stray cats when they take a shit,
they don’t rake the dirt & blow dust over it.
Everyone cannot focus,
everyone sees their focus is wrong,
everyone wondering in their minds
which clinic to go to stand in line.

所有人
@王小龙
所有人都发现自己已经过时
所有人闻到了老去的气味
所有人都像活在梦里
想追赶却找不着腿
所有人的阅读都支离破碎
所有人的想法开始发霉
所有人发现所有问题
答案早就不翼而飞
所有人都放弃了作为
饿了吃渴了喝困了倒头便睡
连流浪猫拉完了
都不再刨土扬灰
所有人都不能集中注意力
所有人看出去焦点都不对
所有人都在暗自思忖
是不是该去哪家门诊排队
