They Shut Me Up In Prose — Poem by Luo Zhihai

★They shut me up in Prose —

☆by Emily Dickinson

They shut me up in Prose —
As when a little Girl
They put me in the Closet —
Because they liked me 'still' —

Still! Could themself have peeped —
And seen my Brain — go round —
They might as wise have lodged a Bird
For Treason — in the Pound —

Himself has but to will
And easy as a Star
Abolish his Captivity —
And laugh — No more have I —

★他们把我关在散文里

☆[美]艾米丽•狄金森 诗
☆[中]罗志海 译

当我还是一个小女孩的时候
他们把我关在散文里
因为他们喜欢我"温柔"
所以他们把我放在书橱里

温柔！他们自己可以窥视
看到我的大脑——看个够
他们可能为了谋反
很聪明地用英镑——养鸟

他自己有，但将如同
当上明星那么易如反掌
废除他的囚禁
我没有更多——大笑
