这年头拥有这种鸟是一件稀罕事
与拥有别墅不同，郊区无人的别墅像鬼屋一样堆着
有钱人觉得炫耀一只孔雀很滑稽
再说没地方安置它，也不知怎么饲养
别墅空着还可以升值，而孔雀被高价卖出的几率
等于早晨在床上被雷劈成九彩肤色
实际上，你根本不知道怎么用这个怪物
想想孔雀开屏时的所有华彩，漩涡，强度，眩晕
就穿戴而言，它已接近始祖鸟之类的遗迹
在饭桌上张开十指的男人，已经把自己幻想成孔雀
虽然他们不知道何为孔雀性
以及孔雀开屏时的所有华彩，漩涡，强度，眩晕
在歌剧院张开十指的女人，已经把自己幻想成孔雀
虽然她们没见过孔雀开屏时的
所有华彩，漩涡，强度，眩晕，否则再也不会说话
就在上周，一位穿黑西服提黑箱的总裁
在街角被一只从蓝色中降临的蓝孔雀劈成了九彩肤色
他被当场送往华彩，漩涡，强度，眩晕
他将遗产全部捐给孔雀研究会
以弥补对孔雀的忽视，它的七彩蜃楼，它的九彩肤色
这年头拥有这种鸟是一件稀罕事
你根本不知道怎么用这个怪物
只能把它放到屋顶上，期待它能靠自己活下去
这等于早晨在床上被雷劈成九彩肤色

It's a rare thing to own such a bird these days
Unlike empty villas piling up in the suburbs
Rich people think it's absurd to show off a peacock
Besides, there's no place to raise it, you can sell an empty villa
But the chance of selling a peacock at a high price
Is about as likely as lightning striking dawn into nine skin-colors
You don't know what to do with the beast
Imagine all the cadenzas, vortexes, intensities, vertigos
When it unfolds. It trots like an ancient archaeopteryx
The man unfolding ten fingers at the feast-table
Imagines he is one, not knowing the nature of the bird
And all the cadenzas, vortexes, intensities, vertigos
When it unfolds.
The woman unfolding ten fingers in the opera house
Imagines she is one, not knowing all the cadenzas
Vortexes, intensities, vertigos when it unfolds.
Otherwise she'd simply shut up
Last week a CEO with a black suit, carrying a black suitcase
Was struck out of the blue by a blue peacock and split into nine skin-colors
Sending out cadenzas, vortexes, intensities, and vertigos.
He donated all his fortune to the Peacock Research Institute
To make up for his neglect of the bird, its seven mirages and nine skin-colors
It's a rare thing to own such a bird these days
You don't know what to make of the beast. You can only
Leave it on the roof, hope it it takes care of itself, which equals
About as likely as lightning striking dawn into nine skin-colors
