Copy a Poem to a Friend
I will think it a luxury to copy
A poem on a clean piece of paper
After writing it for a faraway friend
Letting the ink dry in the cool stagnant air from the air-con
While my eyes ran over it again
I found one miscopied word
But still I folded it into the envelope
Knowing that someday anyway you would read
A revised version on my blog which I may revise again and again
The thought that delighted me more is
That maybe you cherish the faulty hard copy
Like a stamp with an error

赠诗寄远
我将这份闲情当作奢侈
写了一首赠诗之后
抄录在一张白净的纸上
等着墨迹在空调凝滞的冷气中慢慢风干时
却发现抄错了一个字
可我依然叠好放进信封
知道反正你迟早会看到修改了的版本
贴在我的博客上
而我还可以在那儿随时再度修改
一想到你或许宁愿珍惜一个生涩的错误
犹如集邮者收到一张错票
我便为抄错了字暗自开心
