许其正:野草的自述
压抑有什么用?
过后我还是会站起来的
即使一直压抑,我仍会
转个方向,寻隙长出来
甚至直接刺穿压抑物蹦出来!
也或许会被拔除、被烧掉
这又有什么用?
被拔除了,被烧掉了
我照样再长出来
我就是这么个样子
没什好讶异的
只要有一点点土
我便能长出来,存活下去
即连水泥屋顶不也可看到我?
这样的禀性,谁能压抑得了?
不是温室里需人照顾的花朵
我是坚强成长的野草
风霜雨雪烈阳不时磨练我
使我无惧于受压抑,被拔除、烧掉
长得欣欣向荣,自满自足
A Wild Grass’s Account in its own words
Hsu ChiCheng
Press means nothing to me
I will stand up again when press has gone
Even I am always being pressed, I will change
The direction or seek a crack to come out
Even pierce through them
Perhaps I will be pulled out or burnt
It is no use to me
Even I am pulled out or burnt
I will grow as before
This is what I am
There is no need to be surprised
Only there is a bit of earth
I can grow and live on
Even on the roof built with cement
So strong a character I have, that nothing can press me!
I am not a flower in hothouse
But a strong wild grass
The wind, the rain, the snow, the frost and
The scorching sun often bring hardships to me
But I grow and live on, brimming with youthful vigor @
