✦风与旗

文/非马（美国）

没有比风

更会揣摩奉承的了

旗子想往哪边飘

它便往哪边吹

丽日下它们勾结搭档

得意扬扬

占领了整个天空

当旗子态度暧昧左右摇摆

风便气吁吁努力制造漩涡

而当景气低迷

风便溜之大吉

把垂头丧气的旗

交给湿重的

雨

✦THE FLAG AND THE WIND

No one knows more

about the art of flattering

than the wind

whichever direction

the flag desires

the wind is always ready

to oblige

under the bright sun

they conspire hand in hand

to occupy the entire sky

when the flag is vague and vacillates

the wind whirls around huffing and puffing

and whenever there is a depression

the wind is always the first to abscond

leaving the downcast flag

to the rain
