The election signs (竞选标牌)
星期五 六月 01, 2007 8:01 am
绿党成员给我发来
一个请愿书链接。
竞选季节马上要开始了，
他们担心标牌成林
如废物展示。
那些标牌充斥着
硕大，鲜亮的脸蛋，
空洞得比得过差劲的皮影戏。
我们不会认识他们，
我们只会知道他们的名字--
这就足够了，填进选票里。
我签名请愿书
请求那些候选人
走出皮影。
The Election Signs
A member of Green Party
sent me a link with a petition.
As the election season approaches,
They warn of the waste of a forest of signs.
Those posters with faces, huge and bright,
more void than the worst puppet show.
We do not know them,
We do know them--their names
asking us to remember
and to sign for them.
I signed the petition
and pled candidates:
"walk out from these shadows of signs."
