              【To Peekers】

 

 


                        By Tian Yu Zhi

 

 


Please lay your hands on your heart

Feel the conscience, and ask yourself 

Why you keep coming back here

When you should have

 

 

Played a few rounds of chess on a street corner 

Like those old men do, until being checkmated by life;

Or gossiped tittle-tattles while spitting sunflower seed shells 

Like those old women do, after their last sparks stamped out 

 

 

If you don’t have an answer,

Please put "a peeker loser" sticker on your forehead,

Each time you come here —— you know

You are not welcomed, not YOU

 

 

A criminal often goes back to the crime scene 

To check out on the victim, a sign of neurosis pervertion.

You know in your heart

You are part of the reason why she is here 


 

Get a life. Stay out.

                   【To Lyrical Gossipers】

 

 

 


  
                   By Tian Yu Zhi               

 

 

 

 

You have been naughty and busy lately 

Stick your nose into other people's pants

Sniffing around 

 

 

You rack your brains, arranging 

level and oblique tones for harmony

Searching for antithetical couplets, and staled allusions 

 

 

Paint other people's emotions with fake colors of

Showy, borrowed words, drawn only 

Out of scant imagination and shallow observation 

 

 

No matter how hard you have tried, nevertheless 

They are still a low lifer's alley gossips in lyrical forms

With no heart, soul, or compassion

 

 

Maybe start from today, look very hard around yourself

See if you could find anything beautiful

In your own pathetic, unhappy life, and write about it, e.g.

 

 

That plate of pork tongues you love to chew on weekends

外两首:

 

 

 

         【妄言】随感篇

 

 

 

               文/天玉之

 

 

 

没有根据的猜忌 评论 推断

尤其是关于别人的私事

便是妄言。因为 ——

你不可能知道故事的来龙去脉 细节

你只看到长篇电影里一个表象的片段

 

 

妄言 不是好人品做的事。

它往往出于某种缘由 动机

有时是自己意识不到的动机,比如

貌似褒意的字里行间里

闪着银针 透着幸灾 醋意 艳羡

 

 

下笔之前 不妨先问一下自己:

我是在妄言吗?我为什么要写这个?

因为自己心情不好 太孤独寂寞?要知道 ——

妄言是改变不了他人的。只会使自己愈加不快乐

不如搁下笔 去晒晒太阳 让风吹走满襟的晦气

【七绝】                 花圃             (四支)

 

 

                           文/天玉之

 

 

                          叶茂源光水,

                          花香自有时。

                          语浮芯上雹,

                          壅土积天禧。

两岸猿声啼不住。。。夏虫飞过,不值一提。我还是集中精力读书写诗吧。那人我在时坛也与之争辩过,后来觉得

的确如此,有些人就是为了吵架而吵架,素质堪忧。就当是夏虫吧,不值得浪费时间。life is too short...

说得是,江湖上啥人都有,这几年从象牙之塔走出来,真是开眼了。安安静静写诗都不得以。。。
