非主流詩歌:今天正午的晚上 你纔會說愛我

一首荒誕、充滿文化底蘊、又意味深長的小詩

Tonight at noon
Supermarkets will advertise 3p extra on everything
Tonight at noon
Children from happy families will be sent to live in a home
Elephants will tell each other human jokes
America will declare peace on Russia
World War I generals will sell poppies on the street on November 11th
The first daffodils of autumn will appear
When the leaves fall upwards to the trees
今天正午的晚上
超市都將促銷——每件商品漲價三元
今天正午的晚上
家庭美滿的孩子們將被送進孤兒院
大笨象們拿人類當笑料
美國將與蘇聯握手言和
秦王也將捨命刺靳柯
而當落葉掉到樹梢時
水仙將在秋天綻放

Tonight at noon
Pigeons will hunt cats through city backyards
Hitler will tell us to fight on the beaches and on the landing fields
A tunnel full of water will be built under Liverpool
Pigs will be sighted flying in formation over Woolton
And Nelson will not only get his eye back but his arm as well
White Americans will demonstrate for equal rights In front of the Black house
今天正午的晚上
老鼠將在後院捉貓咪
希特勒將指揮英國人在沙灘上戰鬥
香港將會填路造海
豬將排着隊飛過屯門的天空
楊過的右臂失而復得
白人將在黑宮遊行，爭取自由平等

Girls in bikinis are moonbathing
Folksongs are being sung by real folk
Art galleries are closed to people over 21
Poets get their poems in the Top 20
There's jobs for everybody and nobody wants them
In back alleys
everywhere teenage lovers are kissing in broad daylight
In forgotten graveyards everywhere the dead will quietly bury the living
and You will tell me you love me
Tonight at noon
比基尼女郎嗮着月光浴
塗鴉者在牆上寫滿烏鴉
高雅音樂廳禁止成年人進入
詩集登上了暢銷書榜
政客們爭相競選瘋人院牀位
工作唾手可得，但卻無人問津
大街小巷裏
年少的戀人們在光天化日下擁吻
被人遺忘的墓園中，逝者將默默地把生者埋葬
只有這樣
你纔會說你愛我
在今天正午的晚上
