走在地上的人

《走在地上的人》

文/双一

电脑屏幕上，光标

向前迈了十步

退两步，又迈了十步

轻巧地踩出

一页故事

在画下句点之后，忽生

疑惑。变向，跃行

涂改过去。打印

而走在地上的人

就没那么幸运

不过，任何时候

他们都可以登高举目

摆脱被打扁

成一张薄纸的命运

Those Who Walk on the Land

By Jacob Yang

The cursor on the computer screen

Walks ten steps forward, two steps back

And another ten steps forward

It deftly drafts a page of story

Closing it with the last period

Suddenly a shallow of doubt sets in

Then it changes direction

Jumps a few lines, alters the past

And prints

But those who walk on the land

Are not as lucky

However anytime they can lift their eyes

Up onto the mountains

To avoid the fate of being flattened

Into a thin piece of paper
