诗歌入门
我要求他们把一首诗
像彩色的幻灯片一样
举起来对着光
或者把一只耳朵紧贴在它的巢上
我说把一个老鼠扔进一首诗里
看他如何摸索着爬出来
或者走进一首诗的房间
循着墙壁找到电灯开关
我让他们滑水
滑过一首诗的表面
向岸上的作者名字招手
但是，他们要做的
是把一首诗用绳索绑在椅子上
并用酷刑逼供
他们开始用水管殴打
试图发现它的真正含义
Introduction to Poetry
I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide
or press an ear against its
hive.
I say drop the mouse to a poem
and watch him probe his way
out.
or walk inside the poem's room
and feel the walls for a light
switch.
I want them to waterski
across the surface of a poem
waving at the author's name on the
shore.
But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with
rope
and torture a confession out of
it.
They begin beating it with a
hose
to find out what it really
means.
