万一你不来-零零壹伍零(今天你是第一百五十次没来)
THE LAST BARGAIN
"COME and hire me," I cried, while in the morning I was walking on the stone-paved road.
Sword in hand, the King came in his chariot.
He held my hand and said, "I will hire you with my power."
But his power counted for nought, and he went away in his chariot.
In the heat of the midday the houses stood with shut doors.
I wandered along the crooked lane.
An old man came out with his bag of gold.
He pondered and said, "I will hire you with my money."
He weighed his coins one by one, but I turned away.
It was evening. The garden hedge was all aflower.
The fair maid came out and said, "I will hire you with a smile."
Her smile paled and melted into tears, and she went back alone into the dark.
The sun glistened on the sand, and the sea waves broke waywardly.
A child sat playing with shells.
He raised his head and seemed to know me, and said, "I hire you with nothing."
From thenceforward that bargain struck in child's play made me a free man.
玩人的契约
不悔之年,我在石子路上走着
我大声呼喊:谁来雇用我?
皇帝坐着马车,手里拿着剑,他拉着我的手说道:我要用权力来雇用你
但是他的权力改变不了我的思想
他只能坐着马车渐渐远去
而立之年,我四处碰壁,沿着弯曲的人生路缓行
一个老人带着一袋金钱走出来,上下打量我,说道:我要用金钱来雇用你
他一个一个地数着他的钱,想改变我的志向
于是我却转身离去
不惑之年,我喜欢花园的篱上满开的花
美人走出来,说道:我要用微笑来雇用你
可是她的微笑黯淡化成泪容,露出虚伪
所以她只能孤寂地回身走进黑暗里
知天命的我喜欢太阳照耀在沙滩,海波任性的打在顽石上浪花四溅
一个玩着贝壳的小男孩抬起头来望着我,似曾相识的说道:我雇你,却没有什么交换给你
从此以后,在这个小孩的游戏中达成了我苦寻的契约
我用自己的思想实现了我的志向,远离了虚伪成为一个自由的玩人
