选择 / Choice

BY Bai Hua
TRANSLATED BY Fiona Sze-Lorrain
Chinese

他要去肯尼亚，他要去墨西哥 / 他要去江苏国际公司
年轻时我们在规则中大肆尖叫 / 今天，我们在规则中学习呼吸
呵，多难啊，请别吵了！ / 让我从头开始练习
一二三、一二三、一二三 / 这究竟是一些什么东西
肯尼亚、墨西哥、江苏国际公司 / 这就是诗，请选吧，这全是诗
1993年2月

English

He wants to go to Kenya, he wants to go to Mexico
He wants to go to Jiangsu International Company

When young, we shrieked wildly in rules
Today, we learn to breathe in rules

O, how difficult, please don’t fight!
Let me start practising from the beginning

One two three, one two three, one two three
What exactly are these

Kenya, Mexico, Jiangsu International Company
This is poetry, please choose, this is all poetry

February 1993
