聽貝多芬的田園交響曲

戴上耳機

萬籟俱寂

被巴基斯坦小學生的慘叫

以及美國黑人“我無法呼吸”的吶喊

脹得快爆炸了的世界

頓時成為真空

當指揮棒高高舉起

陽光絢爛

鮮花舒放

失聰多時的耳朵也紛紛張開

靜靜等待

一個沒被污染過的

音符

自宇宙深處

悠悠響起

LISTENING TO BEETHOVENS

THE PASTORAL SYMPHONY

as soon as I put on my earphones

the world that is about to burst

suddenly becomes tranquil

no more anguish cries from Pakistani pupils (caged refugee children)

no more angry screams of "I cant breathe"

the conductors baton is now in position

the sun shines brightly

flowers bloom

ears open up

all waiting for the arrival

of the blissful first note

uncontaminated

from the deep

of the universe
