It’s a drawer that only holds flesh
那是一方仅容肉身的抽屉
It never grows, or sinks into soil
从来没有长大，从不陷进泥土
It needs no watering; during the day he passes through streets and alleys
也毋需浇水；白天他穿梭于街巷
Walking behind the purposelessly preoccupied crowd
从瞎忙着的人群背后欠身而过
At night he drags his emptied-out body back
晚上拖着像掏空了的躯干回去
And plugs it into a lit neon lamp, greasily
插进一个亮着霓灯的，油腻的
Opening his complete nakedness to the deep dark corridor
把阴深的廊道完全敞开的裸身
He walks in and out of offices, malls, back lanes and public toilets
他进出办公室，商场，后巷和公厕
Shaking out and closing a pile of disarrayed A4 paper
把一叠凌乱的A4纸抖开又闭合
No one sees their content, the cheques and coins
没有人看见内容，支票和辅币
Transfer automatically to his scar-covered wall
自动转账往他满是刻痕的内壁
The doctor pulls down three scabs and four adenomatous polyps
医生从中摘掉三道疤，四颗瘜肉
The bank retrieves the once promised figures, former lovers
银行取回曾经承诺的数字，旧情人
Scrape off all their memorial tattoos and scenery
刮去所有纪念日的纹身，和风景
No scenery, only closed, cleansed souls
没有风景，便是闭合的，光洁的灵魂
He tries to stand on the beach, recline in an open-air café
他试图搁在沙滩，斜靠在露天咖啡座
Block another’s line of sight in the cinema, in a one-woman brothel
在戏院内遮挡别人的视线，在一楼一
The hooker hanging onto the last of her youth can’t lay her hands on him
让年华还未完全老去的凤姐无从下手
He tries hard to squeeze out smiles that are neither here nor there
他努力挤出无可无不可的笑容
And busies himself eating, drinking, discharging a whole race of gecko corpses
忙于吃，喝，排出一整族壁虎的干尸
And still warm, fresh and soft cockroach eggs
和依然保持体温的，鲜软的蟑螂卵
He stares at the keyhole on his stomach imagining a key that was never there
他瞪着肚脐的匙孔想象不曾有过的钥匙
He attempts to be honest, but others throw coins at him
他试图坦白，别人却往他的身上丢零钱
Attempts to hide the disorderly mound buried in his door plate like an amnesiac tombstone
试图隐藏，埋在门牌的乱岗如失忆的墓碑
Until he notices he can no longer fit into last night’s corridor
直至发觉自己忽然插不进昨夜的廊道
Disappointed, he falls in the street, where a truck runs him over
颓然跌进大街，刚好给一辆货柜车辗过
Just in time for the glowing red tail lights to shine on nothing
并来得及让萤红的尾灯照见什么也没有的
The wood displaying sections of body-like texture
木质，展现一截一截仿如人体的肌理
