You Murder as You Live

你谋杀因为你活着

Something flew into my mouth
as I was striding against the wind.
I spat it out –
a midge.
Now dead
on my sleeve.
What an unnecessary destruction!
I wish I were a Jain.
And yet there are so many things
that are far more important.
How would we be able to live
if we didn't grade
our murders?
			

当我迎风急行时
有东西飞进我嘴里。
我吐了出来——
一只蚊虫。
现在它，就死在
我的袖子上。
真是不必要的毁灭啊！
但愿我是一位耆那教徒。
然而还有很多事情
比这重要得多。
假如我们不把自己的谋杀
分成高低等级
我们怎么有能力活在世上？
