WENN
Wenn alle im Alter Pension bekommen,
werden viele Filme
verschwinden.
Wenn es vom Kindergarten bis zur Oberstufe Pflichtschule gibt,
werden viele Filme
verschwinden.
Wenn alle Menschen öffentlich krankenversichert sind,
werden viele Filme
verschwinden.
Wie wenn ein Meer plötzlich austrocknet!
Z.B. 1981 “Xi Ying Men”, dieser Film mit dem alten Hoftor.

《新诗典》小档案：海青，60后先锋诗人，山东人。诗作发表或入选《新世纪诗典》《当代诗经》《山东文学》《当代传世诗歌三百首》《诗探索》《中国诗影响》《诗》（韩国）《中国当代诗经》（韩国，双语）等选本和刊物及众多公众号。出版中韩双语诗集《花落的方式》，《梦境（一）》，《梦境（二）》。
伊沙推荐语：
这个角度太刁了，看起来在说电影，实际上在写现实。选出好的角度，插入一个杠杆，就能撬起地球。本诗在这扩大的半月中属于特点突出的上乘之作。
况禹点评《新诗典》海青《如果》:好角度。诗歌不是不能反映现实，但写的时候，务求艺术化，在反映对问题的思考和追问同时，也要展示出诗歌本身灵动的特质。这不算太难的事，但不知为什么，近些年钟爱写实与宣泄的热血诗人，恰恰忘掉了。本诗的出现和入典，非常及时。
黎雪梅读《新世纪诗典》之海青《如果》：“免费养老”、“免费教育”和“免费医疗”，一直是国人梦寐以求的福利，胡星斗教授这些年也多次建议全面推行免费教育、免费医疗和免费养老，但因为种种原因都不了了之了，看样子任重道远。本诗行文上由三个排比构成，收到了循环往复、一唱三叹的效果，虽是预设的场景，却表达了诗人内心强烈的情感与诉求、责任与良知，这既是对现实民生的反照，也让我们从中看到了某种希望。
张小云：读海青《如果》
好一个重复的如果
好一串电影消失的碎碎念
好一部《喜盈门》。呵呵
咀嚼出来了
表层都读到了
海青中间层触及孝亲育儿现实
内里那一层她可是直刺
计划生育所造成的
不可逆转的代价
她这首诗最妙在于
读的人得解码
这正与伊沙荐评语
所用了那个“刁”字暗合
解得有味道，是她“刁”得妙
“刁”在她转了三道弯

ODD JOBS POETRY: HORROR MOVIE
me in 1971, 4 years old
sees 54-year-old me in the mirror
predicts people spend every day
between smog and virus
Translated by MW, 3/3/22
新世纪诗典11，NPC3月4日，3987首，1243人。第34个徐江（天津）日
《新诗典》微信版：徐江，1967年生。著有诗集《徐江的诗》《黄昏前说起天才》《杂事诗》《杂事与花火》《我斜视》、诗学专著《现代诗物语》《这就是诗》等20多种。
1991年创办同仁诗刊《葵》。 五次获《新世界诗典》李白诗歌奖，曾获首届亚洲诗人奖、《世界诗人》2006年度国际最佳诗人。庄生诗歌奖2021年得主。
伊沙推荐：这是一首叫人开脑洞的诗，1971年，我们物质匮乏，但环境洁净，现如今，我们物质充盈，但环境黑暗，那时若有一个孩子预言了现在，就是恐怖片。在机械写实主义甚嚣尘上之际（在口语诗人中），这首角度刁钻的超现实诗尤其可贵，老诗人们依然在对中国现代诗做着积极的贡献。
转徐江自评:老妈家的旧地砖起幺蛾子，刚和装修师傅讨论翻修方案，悉心算来，连装修、带挪书搬家具，还可能要尽快租房周转，都是让人“望而生畏”的琐事，送走师傅，看到今天推荐本诗。过去听说人一过中年都累，不以为然。体质下降后，觉得处处如此。经此感受之后，再看世间诸事，更多了一分敏感上的体认，也多了一分对我等人类自以为的各色智慧摸高的解嘲。还是那句话，群情瞎激奋的岁月漩涡里，勉力多写才是硬道理。司马迁这么做的，老师任洪渊这么努力过，老朋友伊沙一直这样做，我会继续努力。
黎雪梅读《新世纪诗典》之徐江《杂事诗.恐怖片》：人们常说的“一语成谶”大概如此吧，当年“四岁的我”对“54岁的我”所说的预言，看似难以置信和荒诞不经，却在今天都一一应验，甚至可能比预言的情形更为严重和可怕，这便是我们这个时代及人类的尴尬处境。所以在我看来这不仅是超现实主义的诗歌，也是写实主义的诗歌。让人们意识到人类若是继续放纵自己的行为，我们每一个人就不仅仅是恐怖片的观众了，而是会成为恐怖片里一个个惊恐不安的角色。本诗写得智性而又节制，语言虽不激烈却令人警醒，寥寥数行却意味深长。
【亚坤评诗】
杂事诗·恐怖片
作者｜徐江
(内容详见新诗典今日推送)
这是一首超现实主义诗作，又是一首现实主义诗作。
说它是超现实主义，是因为作者是站在自己的“心象”中来进行诗歌叙事的。他把54岁当下的自己“穿越”到4岁这个年龄来说话！54岁的当下，是现实的，是可感的。而4岁的自己是超现实的，是一种“心象”。
这种“心象移位”的写作方式，无形中增加了这首诗内部的“精神力”。
试问：对当下现实“毒霾”和“病毒”的“喻示”和“批判”，是“四岁孩子”说出来更有力，还是当下54的作者本身说出来更有力？
说它是现实主义，是因为它本质上指正的还是“现实生发的问题”。
不管是“毒霾”还是“病毒”，它都不是50年前发生的突出问题，而是当下存在的突出问题。
这样看，这种由“诗中主角”(四岁心象)代替“现实本我”(五十四岁实象)说话的写作方式，是一种超现实的“写作策略”。
我的体悟，从精神本质上讲，这首诗仍是一首“批判诗”和“反思诗”。
你看，不管站在四岁孩童的视角，还是站在现实成人的视角，当下的现实环境和正在发生的事情，都是一种“恐怖片”。
一首真正意义上的“文明之诗”！

EINSAMER KUSS
Die Schauspieler sind längst gegangen.
Die Produzenten sind längst gegangen.
Die Kameraleute sind längst gegangen.
Die bildende Kunst ist längst gegangen.
Die Cutter sind weg.
Die Beleuchtung ist weg.
Die Special Effects sind gegangen.
Die Musik ist grad weg,
der Sound Engineer am Mischpult
wird grad verabschiedet.
Als Letzter
kriech ich lahm zur Leinwand
und geb ihr mühsam
für jeden Film
einen von Rotz und Tränen verschmierten
einsamen Kuss.

伊沙点评《孤单一吻》：八月以来，一周之内，有两大宝贝：惟一的现役军人杜思尚，惟一的电影导演刘一君，之所以宝贝，就在于独一门的职业可能带来诗的独一门，拿本诗来说，堪称＂导演心曲＂。
况禹点评《新诗典》刘一君《孤单一吻》：一行有一行的甘苦。尤其是文艺创作。刘一君用诗清晰写出了电影导演的甘苦，我忽然生出好奇——哪一天，我们能在中文电影里看到以内行视角（迄今没有）反映诗歌的。
Calligraphy by Huang Kaibing
黎雪梅读《新世纪诗典》之刘一君《孤单之吻》：不仅仅是“家家有本难念的经”，其实干好任何一个行当都不容易，即便是在众人眼里实力雄厚的导演也不例外。诗歌的从开头连用七个“走了”，以及“刚走”、“送走”等词语，紧锣密鼓地渲染了一种喧嚣过后人去楼空、孤单凄清的情境；而结尾处“瘫软”而又“艰难”地献上这“孤单的一吻”，还是“被眼泪和鼻涕濡湿的”，写实性地记录，道尽了工作的过度劳累与对事业执着的追求，每一部作品都倾注了无数的心血，饱含着深情及不为人知的那些辛酸苦辣。相信这首带着诗人独特情感和生活经验的作品，会令每一位认真读完本诗的读者们，对导演这一职业更多一份理解和支持。
Calligraphy by Huang Kaibing
黄开兵：读完此诗，不知为何，就想起周星驰星爷。特别是最后一幕，简直就是星爷的无厘头演绎。我喜欢周星驰的表演，笑中有悲悯，不像后来的那些模仿者，只见恶俗的尬笑。

WHY PEOPLE VOTE TRUMP
(and why De Niro hates him, he wants this only in movies)
Because
He doesn’t play by the rules.
And Russia and China
And most other people
Cannot always afford
To play by the rules.
And when money talks
And the Mafia beckons
You cannot afford
To play by the rules.

为什么投票给特朗普
(以及德尼罗为什么讨厌他，他只在电影里想要这一切)
维马丁
因为

当金钱开口时
黑手党在召唤
你不是总能忍受

NEXT THING IN AUSTRIA
That little valley
Which is only accessible from Germany
Will hold elections
By holding up sabers
The results will be valid
For the whole country
But only if they guarantee
To vote for the chancellor
The Greens agree either way
Long Green explanations
Forthcoming
For sure

STAR WARS
(Star Wars 9 & Toy Story 4)
The heartbreaking thing
about Star Wars
is when the rebels
have won
and survived
or at least most of them
or some of them
or at least some that you like
and you’re all happy
and you go home
and it really was a good ending
and you go to bed
and the next day
there is your life.
Has the universe changed
since the 1970s of our era?
Or since Jesus Christ
turned bread into fish?
Come on, give the Baby a break,
it is Christmas.
There will be life
and there will be movies.
There’ll be things to fight for,
and evil overlords.
And something beyond.
And some new toy
maybe made out of trash
will ask a companion
how am I alive –
and will hear –
I don’t know.

AVENGER’S ENDGAME
I am seeing Endgame,
thinking of Třebíč.
“It all ends here.”
We were in Třebíč
when the last Harry Potter came out.
We saw it in Czech in 3D
in the town’s only theatre.
Třebíč is very well preserved.
It’s a real town like so many
with a real Jewish cemetery.
They had a motorcycle convention
when we were in town in 2011.
Maybe the Travellers’ Inn is still there
by the bridge.

ENDGAME
I really love Iron Man.
He lives in a garbage can
with his wife the Black Widow.
They don’t wait for Godot,
they take notes from Ant-Man
and travel into the past quantum realm
to thwart the Big Evil.
Thor gets a beer belly from
thinking about this.

DREAM 1091
three dreams in one night
one after the other
three blossoms opened
on the same topic:
violence
I dream of two female journalists
from Chinese Business View
they used to interview me all the time
but then I beat up a male reporter
because he stuffed sweet crumbs into my mouth
when I didn’t want it
I dream of a real
Japanese devil
seems very friendly
but there’s no need for mobilization
I want him dead
though those war films haven’t fooled me
I know killing him won’t be easy
I am preparing a saw
I dream of my roommates
at college
we move into a new place together
it’s an apartment with bathroom
I am taking a pee
someone kicks me from behind
I turn around and kick him
to the ground
almost killing him

一夜三梦
梦连着梦
花开三朵
各表一枝
共享主题：暴力
我梦见两位
曾经长期采访我的
《华商报》女记者
却殴打了一位男记者
起因是他不怀好意地
朝我嘴里塞点心渣子
我梦见一位
真正的日本鬼子
貎似很善良
但无须动员
我非要弄死他
抗日神剧骗不了我
我深知弄死他不容易
我先弄来一把锯子
我梦见大学
同住一室的同学
我们一起搬入新居
是一个单元有厕所
我撒尿时
有人在背后
踹了我一脚
被我反过身来
踹翻在地
差点跺死

FELL DOWN AND DIED WATCHING THE MOVIES
as a bonus for the workers
at the all men’s dormitory
the mine partitioned the uppermost floor
and set up rooms for visiting spouses
from the opposite roof

that was a secret all mine workers knew
one summer
one man fell from the roof
everyone said
he fell down and died watching the movies

WHEN DO I WANT A BOYFRIEND?
not when I’ve cooked too much food for myself
not when I’m alone at the movies
not when I cannot move heavy stuff
not when my mom asks me to get married
not when I go to the hospital all by myself
not when I hug myself and cannot sleep
when I put on or take off a dress
the zipper at the back gets stuck in the middle
I think it might be nice to have a boyfriend
zip me up in the morning
zip me out at night

“so you don’t want to
discuss this topic
in any way?”

“yes, yes ….”

我什么都不想谈
因我正在看A片
一个泰国妞
正在我面前的电脑上
晒屁股

IS ZHANG ZIYI BEAUTIFUL OR NOT?
Is Zhang Ziyi beautiful or not?
Some people say she’s beautiful,
some say she isn’t.
Liu Ping in our office
says she is not beautiful.
But Zhang Yimou says she is.
Ang Lee says she is.
Jackie Chan says she is.
Wong Kar-wai says she is.
Henry Fok’s son says she is beautiful.
Steven Spielberg says she is beautiful.
Now even Feng Xiaogang also says she is beautiful.
Then after all is Zhang Ziyi beautiful or not?
In my opinion
Zhang Ziyi is more beautiful than Zhang Yimou
and Ang Lee
and Jackie Chan
and Wong Kar-wai,
more beautiful than Henry Fok’s son,
more beautiful than Spielberg,
even more beautiful than Feng Xiaogang.
But she is not
as beautiful as Liu Ping in our office.
