事实-洛尔娜·克罗齐-蚊饭朗读-161105

你知道蚂蚁的触角上

有四个嗅觉器官，

而雌性老鼠也有阴蒂吗？我是从

两个诗人那里学来的：一个是著名美国诗人，

另一个是生理学和物理学出身。

现在什么事都是可能的：

你知道一根草也有腿有脚吗？

这就是为什么它从不安静

而是像一个儿童在老健身房里不停地原地跑步。

你知道月亮会像猫一样

用舌头舔自己吗？它舔啊舔，直到消失

然后重新来过，带着唾液的闪光。

你知道吃大白菜的黄蝴蝶

也有脾气，而风是一个焦急的母亲吗？

每个黄昏，她站在世界透风的门廊里

喊它们回家。

FACTS

Did you know an ant has four

olfactory organs on its antennae;

the female mouse, a clitoris? This I learned

from two poets—one famous and American,

the other a student of biology and physics.

Now anything is possible:

Did you know that grass has legs and feet?

That’s why it’s never still

but runs on the spot like a child in an old gymnasium.

Did you know the moon cleans itself with a tongue

rough as a cat’s? It licks and licks until it disappears

then comes up new again, shiny with spittle.

Did you know the yellow butterflies that feed on cabbage

have a temper; the winds, a worrying mother?

Every dusk she stands in the airy doorway of the world

and calls them home.
