《水蛇》| 双一
雨中，车侧窗上的水滴
驾着疾风，横行
它们吞掉相邻的同伴
像水蛇
左摇右晃，一路冲撞
留下消化不良的水迹
给后面的蛇吞吃
在一尺多长的生命里
这群水滴的族类
都横着奔跑
争先恐后，向玻璃边缘
消亡

Water Snakes
By Jacob Yang
Riding gusty winds
the raindrops on the side window of the car
walk sideways without care.
They swallow the adjacent partners
like water snakes swaying,
left and right, dashing and smashing,
leaving ill-digested marks
for the snakes behind to eat up.
In a life as short as a foot,
this species of water drops
all run sideways,
with fears of falling behind,
rushing towards the edge of glass
to die.
