现代性器

当代:有时,她
住在临时里。现代
是格林尼治时间
擒住的铁轨,着急,
茶汤咬盏。有时,
她强拆人造的现代,
她住在自焚念头
的当代里:黑烟甩
向俄国,进步的
等死之物无从拆起。

Modernity Tool

The contemporary: Now and then, she
lives within the momentary. Modern times
mean Greenwich Mean Time
lives lived caught on the tracks, anxiety,
tea foam nipping at its bowls’ walls. Now and then,
she demolishes man-made modern times,
she lives within the ​​self-immolation of the thought
of the contemporary: black smoke pours
toward Russia, progress’s
awaiting death cannot be torn down.
