黄昏辞
樊功生
黄昏的湖滨
最是放松
他们又来了
白发人
和他的健身师
慢跑 拉筋
俯卧撑
还有拳击...
有条有序
一会儿
半身大汗
喝着饮料 交谈
他在说健美
他在谈时事 酒
互相欣赏
腹肌 和口袋
那些该死的空虚...
另一边
也有个白发人
每天从布袋里
掏出水罐和便当
地上放好
立直 跺跺脚
开始转腰 甩手
再捶捶腿
扭扭脖子
有些笨拙
但也是一套程序
坐下来喝口水
端起便当盒
慢慢嚼着
看着那些玩耍的孩子们
和来往的男男女女
黄昏了...
Sunset
By Ken Fan
Sunset at lakeside,
Most relaxing.
Here they are again,
Grey haired man
And his personal trainer.
Leisurely jogging,
Stretching,
Push-ups,
And even a few boxing moves...
In an very organized order.
Shortly,
They're sweating all over.
Some cool drinks and chatting.
One is talking about fitness,
While the other talking about news and wine.
Mutually appreciating
Muscle as well as wallet,
Those damned vanities...
Over there
an old man also.
Everyday he takes out a meal box and a water bottle,
From his worn out cotton bag.
Placing them properly on the ground,
He stands up,
stomping the ground a few times,
Then turns his body left and right,
swing his arms front and back,
Pats on his legs
and twists his neck gently.
A bit awkward though,
Yet seems to be in a good order, too.
Afterwards he sits down on a bench
and sips some water,
Picks up his meal, chewing slowly,
watches those kids play on the lawn, ,
And those couples passing by.
Sun is also setting...
