蹲坐海邊
穩穩地
靜靜地
已經蹲坐多久了？

瞪視著海
是想要選一個適當的時機
猛跳過去？還是
在等待什麼？

我似乎聽到了
噗通噗通跳下水的聲音
和我小時候在河邊聽到的
一模一樣

是那麼親切、自然
十足鄉土氣味
愉悅我的聽聞
引我深深共鳴

Squatting by the seashore
Firmly
And quietly
How many years have past you squatting here?

Glaring at the sea
Are you biding your time
To jump over the sea
Or waiting for something or somebody?

I seem to have heard
The sound of diving into the water with flops
As same as what I heard by a river
When I was a child

It sounds so kind and so natural
Full of local colour
Cheering my hearing
Arousing my sympathy
