土生土長的土褐色

──夏威夷遊記之六

差點被數字脹死的

華爾街

終於狂瀉不止

使遠在威奇奇沙灘上

大晒其太陽的速紅臉孔

都一下子慘白了起來

終年同陽光親昵的土褐色

在土生土長的勞動者身上

因此更顯得

渾厚真實

THE NATIVE-BORN BROWN COLOR

                    -- Hawaii, 1987

almost choked by numbers

Wall Street

now suffers from an incessant diarrhea

making the sunbathing faces

at Waikiki Beach

deathly pale

the brown skins of the native laborers

that are in intimate contact with the sun

all year round

now appear even more real

and rich
