〈學字〉
　
如果沒有三千個字
如果只有三
百個 甚至
三十個 週日下午牙牙學做字
牙竟是這樣
薑 雞 鞥 這才是
難
在異地重學話語
如果 只有 可惜
沒有了 還有嗎
如果 只有 三十字寫詩
一個字款
寫了三個小時
　
〈Word-learning〉
　
If there aren’t 3
thousand words—
If there are only
3 hundred
or even
30, on a Sunday afternoon
learning to make Chinese
words with the English
keyword blah bla—
h is so diffi
cu co ce this is what is real
difficult
Learning to speak again
in a new place
if only a pity
no more is there?
If there are only
30 words
writing a poem
in 1 type font
took me 3 hours
