《菜场》 作者:孟伟

同质化的目光,

纸质的电子码, 


一棵棵把青春运往黎明——
来自温室预制投喂的补给, 


用于补充颅内战壕的备战补给,


码放整齐。 屠夫们的刀比我嘴快,


一刀划下去雪白的凝脂,

像寒冬里剜出的、
拒绝解释的秋月;


而重量,他们表示拒绝解释。 “错不了。”

——邻柜的音节,为电子码定罪。


滴的一声,


这一声,

兑换了我这一天
所有清白的重量——


它不多不少,


正等于: 


我自觉扫描后,


垃圾桶里,

那只


雪白鱼鳔的


重量。

 

English version:

The Market
By Meng Wei

Homogenized gazes,
papery digital codes,
heads of greens shipping their youth to dawn—
supplies from pre-fed greenhouses,
provisions for the trenches inside the skull,
all neatly stacked.

The butcher's blade is quicker than my tongue,
one stroke lays open snow-white fat,
like an autumn moon gouged from winter's core,
refusing explanation;
and the weight, they also refuse to explain.

"Can't go wrong."—a syllable from the next stall convicts the digital code.
A beep,
that one sound
exchanges all the innocent weight of my day—
no more, no less,
exactly equal to:
after I scan myself,
the weight of that snow-white fish maw
in the trash bin.
