All about Grasses
The words that describe grasses grow like grasses
From spring to fall, when even the sun changes
You mince on them, walk on
And then buoy as if shoeless and feetless and legless
Your arms are turning into fins
And you are eager to breathe plankton into your mouth
When darkness falls, you still consider yourself more of a breeze
But you also realize that you have hopelessly fallen into yourself
And even hope to stand before an imaginary mirror
Those who do not understand the etymons of vegetation and generation
Are carried away by greenness, like schools of fish

与草相关的一切
那些描述青草的词像青草一样生长
从早春到晚秋，甚至太阳也变了
你小步踏在草上，走着走着就像浮标一样
漂了起来，没有了鞋子、没有脚、没有腿
接着你的双臂变成了鳍
你那么急切地想将浮游生物呼吸到嘴里
黑暗降临时，你还自认为是一股清风
可你也意识到你已不可求药地爱上了自己
甚至还企图站到一面想象的镜子前
那些人不懂得植被与生长的词源
就被绿色漂走了，犹如过江之鲫
