长椅

A Bench

我说有这样一条长椅已足够
有太阳照在这条长椅上已足够
有带盐味的风从海上吹来
吹这条长椅和坐在长椅上的我
已足够——
我不需要什么道路
我走过的所有道路都使我疲倦
也不需要什么未来
呵呵，生命的未来啊
一想到这两个字……
就看到远处的轮船隆隆驶过
冲浪者，一会儿旋上浪尖
一会儿又跌入浪谷
我钟情晚年的平静如少年钟情激越
一条长椅可以坐一下午
一条长椅也可以坐完余生
			

I say it is sufficient that I have such a bench.
It is sufficient that the sun shines on the bench.
A salty wind from the sea blows
The bench and me who is sitting on it.
It is sufficient.
I do not need any road.
All the roads I have traveled tired me.
Nor do I need any future.
Ho, the future of life.
Upon thinking of it,
I see ships in the distance rumble past,
Surfers, at one minute, rush up revolving on the top of waves,
At another minute, fall between them. 
I love the calm of the old age as I love the excitement of the youth.
On a bench, I can sit for the whole afternoon.
On a bench, I can sit for the rest of the life.
