Another old piece
At a Supermarket
she pinches off two white grapes
from the bundle on display
rubs them against the lower hem
of her goldenrod jacket
and passes one to her guest
who tells her its shape gets it a name
in his language
a horse nipple
she turns her eyes from the spice vegetable
and smiles back a quick response
Does it have the same taste?

在超市
冷柜上展示着一串白葡萄
她掐下两颗
在她那一枝黄的夹克下摆
擦了擦
递一颗给她的客人
他告诉她
在他的语言中
因为这形状，这种葡萄叫做
马奶子
她看着香味蔬菜的眼睛
转了过来，笑着问
味道也一样吗
