A Poem for My Chinese Friends (写诗给我的中国朋友)




Happy Spring Festival
In the Year of the Rat
Which some consider
A sign of the plague

It's time to be
Nimble and swift
As we leap from 
Ship to ship

We may yet find
A route back home
After living in the Diaspora
For far too long

是老鼠年
有人认为
瘟疫征兆
但实际上
灵活性是
最要
住的事
老鼠法是
从船到船
快速跳
 如果沿着
这条路走
提高运气
回家
是散居者
