Extraordinary Lengths
The only justification
for extraordinary lengths
is extraordinary distances.
Yet you don’t find this
in the majority of instances.
No, rather you see lengths
swagged from balconies,
ribbons of lengths rippling
languidly, lengths spooling
from enchanted cavities and
grots. Actually there is
hardly a spot of sky or pool
of water uncolored by some
extraordinary length or other.
Brothers flying bolts of gossamer
off buildings with spectacular
results. Birds negotiate an
aerial spaghetti, sure-footed
goats find themselves unsteady.
Poor people in brightly
lacquered boats just help
themselves to lengths
that tangle up and float
as pleasantly as kelp.
非凡的长度
唯一可以佐证
非凡长度的
是不寻常的距离。
但事情大多
不会这样。
对，你经常见到的是
长短不一从包厢垂下的帷幕
缎带松垮地
从中了魔法的洞穴中
高低垂吊着
像从线轴松脱的线。其实
天空抑或水塘几乎无一处
没被非凡的长度
或其他什么涂染过。
兄弟们从楼上甩出
一卷卷的薄纱，收获
可观。鸟儿飞过一根空中的
意大利面，步履稳健的
山羊发现自己摇摇晃晃。
穷人在漆得鲜亮的船里
干脆随便选取
那些像海藻一样
快乐地纠结、漂浮的
不同长度。
