皮薩斜塔

一下遊覽車我們便看出了局勢

同大地較勁

天空顯然已漸居下風

為了讓這精彩絕倫的競賽

能夠永遠繼續下去

我們紛紛選取

各種有利的角度

在鏡頭前作出

努力托塔的姿勢

當地的導遊卻氣急敗壞地大叫

別太用力

這是一棵

不能倒塌更不能扶正的

搖錢樹

 THE LEANING TOWER OF PISA

descending from the tour bus

we knew right away

that the earth was gaining

in its wrestling match

with the sky

to help maintain the balance

we all raised our hands

in front of the lenses

strenuously trying to prop up

the tower

but the local guide shouted at us

our exertion threatened his Money Tree—

it must neither be allowed to fall

nor be straightened up
