Great poetry lives in a state of perpetual transformation, 
perpetual translation: 
the poem dies when it has no place to go.
-- Eliot Weinberger

十九种善意的观照宣誓忠诚
唯一是死局
不死是唯一 的信仰

躲开声音最初的诱惑
逃离解释温厚的陷阱
量词擅自走失
大写的外衣 穿还是不穿？

抽象掉的阴差阳错，扭了蝴蝶结的命运
坦白了的欲擒故纵，烂熟的爱情游戏
鸿雁传丢了红颜
幸好还有曾经沧海可除却巫山！

抽筋扒皮，哦，我该说脱胎换骨吧！
饺子似的情人捧腹大笑
让我想想
上哪儿去寻一剂
古典又浪漫的毒药作乐呢？

和金仁顺, Beth在Iowa House讨论international translation workshop的稿子。

我们都注视着双子塔倒塌了一千遍，
我们都因此理直气壮地倒霉了一千遍。

爱国的他们和看热闹的我成了我们，
不是凭着倒塌，而是仗着倒霉。

吃灰尘和吃硝烟并没有什么本质区别，
挑衅和躲避也无甚不同。

灾难别有用心的阴影，
大家一起清醒地做噩梦。

Everyone with lungs breathes the space in and out as everyone
with lungs breathes the space between the hands in and out

as everyone with lungs breathes the space between the hands
and the space around the hands in and out

as everyone with lungs breathes the space between the hands
and the space around the hands and the space of the room
in and out

.
.
.

as everyone with lungs breathes the space between the hands
and the space around the hands and the space of the room
and the space of the building that surrounds the room and
the space of the neighborhoods nearby and the space of
the cities and the space of the regions and the space of
the nations and the space of the continents and islands and
the space of the oceans and the space of the troposphere
and the space of the stratosphere and the space of
the mesosphere in and out.

In this everything turning and small being breathed in and out
by everyone with lungs during all the moments.

Then all of it entering in and out.

The entering in and out of the space of the mesosphere in the
entering in and out of the space of the stratosphere in
the entering in and out of the space of the troposphere
in the entering in and out of the space of the oceans
in the entering in and out of the space of the continents
and islands in the entering in and out of the space of
the nations in the entering in and out of the space of
the regions in the entering in and out of the space of the cities
in the entering in and out of the space of the neighborhoods
nearby in the entering in and out of the space of the building
in the entering in and out the space of the room in the entering
in and out of the space around the hands in the entering
in and out of the space between the hands.

How connected we are with everyone.

The space of everyone that has just been inside of everyone
mixing inside of everyone with nitrogen and oxygen and water
vapor and argon and carbon dioxide and suspended dust spores
and bacteria mixing inside of everyone with sulfur and sulfuric
acid and titanium and nickel and minute silicon particles from
pulverized glass and concrete.

How lovely and how doomed this connection with everyone
with lungs.
