媒人啊(The Matchmaker)


圖:"The Poet" by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes


You thought you would be a singer
But end up a painter

I thought I would be a scholar
But end up a writer

I wonder why we never considered
Putting pictures and words
Together

If you agree
If we move on
We would end up getting something, really something.
It might look cool
It might look funny
It would be our baby
With a birthmark of fiction and reality

你想當個歌手
卻變成了畫家

我想當個學者
卻變成了作家

為何我們之前沒想到
把畫與文字
湊個對子

若你同意
我們開始
一定會有結果,很有意思的結果
它可能很酷
它可能很妙
它是我們的孩子
胎記上印著虛構與現實的樣子
