神从不担心自己
作者:卢时雨
一座寺庙,建在悬崖边
我担心:万一泥石流山体滑坡怎么办
我问小沙弥,小沙弥说从没这样想过
问老和尚,他笑而不答,仿佛和他无关
不必再问菩萨了,他们从来不会担心自己
God Never Worries About Himself
by Lu Shiyu
A temple, built beside the cliff
My worry is: what if mudflow and landslide happen
I asked the little novice, who never thought so
I then asked the senior monk, who smiled as if not a concern at all
No need to ask the Buddha again, they never worry about themselves
五叔
作者:陈中明
五叔把扣件拴在钢管上
钢管把五叔拴在脚手架上
脚手架拴住了五叔却未拴住五叔的家
五叔的家在他的裤腰带上
裤腰带拴住一生孤苦却拴不住一个女人
My Fifth Elder Uncle
by Chen Zhongming
My fifth elder uncle fastens his buckle onto the steel tube
The steel tube fastens him onto the scaffolding
The scaffold fastens my uncle but not his family
He ties family onto his belt and
his belt ties him onto a lifetime loneliness but never a woman
刘忠林如是说
作者:冷铜声
后来拿竹签扎指甲缝,我就招了
我说用尖刀杀的,他们说不对
我说用棍子杀的,他们说也不对
我说你们说拿啥杀的,他们说不是石头吗
我说对对对,就是石头
Liu Zhonglin Said So
by Leng Tongsheng
Bamboo skewer was needled into my fingernails, then I admitted
I said I killed with a knife, they said it's not right
Then I said I killed with a stick, they said it's not right
Then I asked, what do you think I was using, isn't it stone? they asked
Yes, yes, I confirmed, it's a stone

The Forbidden City
by Huang Yusheng
It was, such a large brothel
with three thousand hungry women
serving just one client who lost his Yang

这名上访者不打横幅 不喊口号
不搞群体访向政府施压
只是“呱呱”地轻轻诉说自己的冤屈
我对它热情接访 并认真解释法律政策
它满意地点了点头 迅速消失在草丛中
Met a Frog At the Gate of Municipal Building
by Zhu Jianye
This petitioner doesn't have sign nor slogan with him
neither does he join a group to pressre the government
but appealing by croaking softly
I offered reception to him warmly, explained laws and regulations carefully
He nodded with satisfactory, and disappeared into the underbrush quickly
