蝸牛沒入遠景
高塔 2016

蚯蚓喘口氣，暫擱
平日，剛毛掘壤翻土
暢飲，數口晨露
對周遭，蝸牛的未乾
黏跡，不知始於，止於何處
投以，比常人多一點的注目
神探？傳奇人物
這麼少的證據，這麼多的瞎猜
蚯蚓，煙斗在手
多咳幾聲，跡證仍無法解讀
急趨趕上蝸牛，三步併兩步
氣喘吁吁，蚯蚓問
你要去哪兒？哪兒？
望一念不到處，快跑，赴萬念留處
慢步，其實途中，我是個旅客
蝸牛，繼續爬行
念留處，看似樂土
兩根觸鬚掃路
蚯蚓兀立，看蝸牛一里一里
隨時間過去，向遠景沒入
A Snail Turning Invisible into A Vista Vision
By Hytower 2016/9/16
An earthworm taking a break
From his routine work burrowing the soil with his setae
Gulped mouths of morning dew, and
Cast a little more steady glances around than the ordinary people
At a sticky trace of a snail not yet dried
Without knowledge of where to start and end.
Sherlock Holmes？As a legendary detective
With so few evidences, so many wild guesses
Holding a pipe in his hand
The earthworm making more coughs in vain to read the trace
Hurried by reducing three steps to two in pace to catch up with the snail.
Short of breath, the earthworm asked.
“Where are you going? Where?”
“As a quick runner to the place where any thought can’t reach and to the place where all thoughts remain
A slow walker, actually right on midway I am a traveler.”
The snail kept on crawling
Towards the supposed paradise-like place where the thought remains
With his two tentacles ahead to sweep the road.
The earthworm stood all alone watching the snail who mile by mile, after a lapse of time
Turns invisible into a vista vision.
