【打油诗】中年女人的数字生活

菜场每天去一趟

腰上肥肉又两斤

头顶白发添三根

老公打呼醒四点

孩子活动赶五场

含恨健身每周六

一日会议七八次

无聊电视到九点

睡前鸡汤读十篇

呜呼哀哉！明日复明日！月月年年又一生。

平凡的生活需要自我调侃。

附一首英文诗《Middle Age》

At end, when it is too late
to start anew.

When every chance to fly
lies like dead birds in your rear view

It was not out of love
nor any childhood dream

That we ran, ignoring every wonder
of life only to wind up here

By accident, and looking up to see
in the vaguely familiar face
of a stranger

every soulful longing of home
since we, last, left it

A sense of familiarity
running behind me as I left

Saying, 'Here, is your coat
you will catch cold'

Life is nothing more than this
a walk around the block when you were seven

At first wonder, and then the drudgery
of again and evermore...
