貢多拉

一個周末的早晨
我和兒子去威尼斯人

那是亞洲最大的休閒娛樂度假酒店
那裡有意式風情的貢多拉
聽說撐船的人請自歐洲
可以一邊撐船一邊唱情歌

貢多拉

和兩岸圍觀的人一樣
孩子透過鐵欄桿
目不轉睛地看貢多拉
他第一次看到真船在室內穿行

貢多拉有些拘謹
它來自歐洲的一個水城
習慣了東奔西跑
拈花惹草
在這兩百多米長水池裡
它要學著像條魚

畢竟人們傾慕它的歌喉
排隊等待它，還在池邊拋媚眼

但是，為什麼水裡沒有魚？
孩子離開了

他在說謊！
貢多拉張了張嘴巴
啞掉的喉嚨在空調房裡
吐不出水泡


Gondora

like the crowd beside the water
a child looks at the Gondora
through the iron fence
it is the first time
he sees a real boating indoor

Gondora comes from Venice - a water city
used to toy with flowers and grass
singing everywhere
now it learns to be a fish
in this clear pool of two hundreds meters

after all, people wait in line
for its voices
many even throw amorous glances
from above

but why there is no fish in the water?
the child walks away

you are liars
Gondora opens its mouth
its voice
hoarse in the air-conditioned hall
no bubbles uttered
