After"MadGirl'sLoveSong"bySylviaPlathIjumpmyslopesandallthe12《婚宴》

车前子

这一首诗不适合朗读，

因为扫雪的声音，

沙沙沙沙地太响了。

南方人扫雪一把条帚，

北方人扫雪一把铲子，

其实是铲雪。

一个名词嫁给不同的动词，

我们正去婚宴的路上，

又送了一次礼。

犀牛

姓犀牛的走到王府井。

姓薛的讨厌姓朱的，就把

自己租来的公寓，叫“杀猪楼”。

《婚宴》

13姓朱的讨厌姓薛的，

借住在农民房里，称“扫雪庄”。

姓车的人好，大家就乘他。

姓犀牛的走到王府井，

再好的车也不载犀牛。

早晨

小椿树胡同里的一棵椿树，

我摸过一百只乳房。

可能是五十对。

我已没有了虚荣心。

一棵椿树越看越不像椿树，

也不像槐树。

业余爱好

姓朱的讨厌姓薛的，

借住在农民房里，称“扫雪庄”。

姓车的人14偏头痛的时候最好自己没有脑袋，

或者这脑袋是别人的。

有的时候我愿意把脑袋送人，

但眼镜要留下来。

没什么道理，仅仅是业余爱好。

观念艺术

我热爱的朋友不会在这时打电话，

他们知道我睡觉的天赋。

上午十点钟，我被吵醒了：

“喂，喂，是烤鸭店吗？”

我一下没了脾气，我说：

“不，不，烧鸡铺子。”

喻体

他扫雪，

裤管像仅剩的桥墩，

剥掉白老虎的皮。

作为喻体它是流水浊泥的。

偏头痛的时候最好自己没有脑袋，

或者这脑袋是别人的。
