較　量

時間
是叢樹林裡一隻
受驚的兔子
逃得風快
看花了眼的獵人
回到兔窩邊
為酒發愁

The Life-or-death Contest

Time
Is a frightened rabbit
Fleeing rapidly
Through the bushes
Dazzled hunter
Moves back beside rabbit's hole
Worrying about
Liquor

　痛

一棵有痛覺的樹
一天數落多少片樹葉
多少天數光一棵樹

一顆有痛覺的頭
一年數白多少根頭髮
多少年數白一顆頭

光陰輪鋸劈進去
多少枚鋸齒默默幹活
多少圈才鋸掉痛覺

　　Pain

How many leaves are counted off in a single day
By a tree with sense of pain ?
How many days needed to count a tree naked?

How many hairs are counted white in a single year
By a head with sense of pain？
How many years needed to count a head white?

The circular saw of time chops into.
How many sawteeth work silently?
How many circles needed to saw off the sense of pain?
