现在是 2025 年 8 月 3 日，露露岛。晚餐后，阳光下嫩绿的无花果，昨天腌制的甜醋，还有重新加热的阿尔弗雷多义面，我坐在阳台上，望著那棵针叶树。楼下静谧无声，街道空无一车，一片悠閒。我的冰镇青柠水在阳光下闪闪发光。最近，我常和那位法丹混血的 UFO 研究专家麦可聊天。我们谈论内心深处的事情：智慧型装置的迷醉，以及思维的衰退。他说，咖啡馆已经不再是咖啡馆了。人们忘记如何观察、如何驻足停留。我跟他讲起在日本的亚瑟，他会像僧侣凝视虚空一样，对著空白的墙壁发呆。最近，我让机器像诗人一样说话，它们真的做到了。它们模仿伊莉莎白时代的诗歌，以及塔加洛语民谣中那古老而忧伤的韵律。我沿著通往蒂姆霍顿咖啡店的小路采摘黑莓。我像个孩子似的喊道：「莫拉！」我的朋友莫拉，她血液里流著安地斯山脉的薄雾，她会笑的。今天，我买了黄柠檬。我本来想买青柠，但黄柠檬也可以。/ 黑莓的清晨 / 指尖残留无花果的痕迹 / 街道依然沉睡xiàn zài shì 2025 nián 8 yuè 3 rì， lù lù dǎo。 wǎn cān hòu， yáng guāng xià nèn lǜ de wú huā guǒ， zuó tiān yān zhì de tián cù， hái yǒu chóng xīn jiā rè de ā ěr fú léi duō yì miàn， wǒ zuò zài yáng tái shàng， wàng zhù nà kē zhēn yè shù。 lóu xià jìng mì wú shēng， jiē dào kōng wú yī chē， yī piàn yōu xián。 wǒ de bīng zhèn qīng níng shuǐ zài yáng guāng xià shǎn shǎn fā guāng。 zuì jìn， wǒ cháng hé nà wèi fǎ dān hùn xuè de UFO yán jiū zhuān jiā mài kě liáo tiān。 wǒ men tán lùn nèi xīn shēn chù de shì qíng： zhì huì xíng zhuāng zhì de mí zuì， yǐ jí sī wéi de shuāi tuì。 tā shuō， kā fēi guǎn yǐ jīng bù zài shì kā fēi guǎn le。 rén men wàng jì rú hé guān chá、 rú hé zhù zú tíng liú。 wǒ gēn tā jiǎng qǐ zài rì běn de yà sè， tā huì xiàng sēng lǚ níng shì xū kōng yī yàng， duì zhù kòng bái de qiáng bì fā dāi。 zuì jìn， wǒ ràng jī qì xiàng shī rén yī yàng shuō huà， tā men zhēn de zuò dào le。 tā men mó fǎng yī lì shā bái shí dài de shī gē， yǐ jí tǎ jiā luò yǔ mín yáo zhōng nà gǔ lǎo ér yōu shāng de yùn lǜ。 wǒ yán zhù tōng wǎng dì mǔ huò dùn kā fēi diàn de xiǎo lù cǎi zhāi hēi méi。 wǒ xiàng gè hái zi shì de hǎn dào：「mò lā！」 wǒ de péng yǒu mò lā， tā xuè yè lǐ liú zhù ān dì sī shān mài de bó wù， tā huì xiào de。 jīn tiān， wǒ mǎi le huáng níng méng。 wǒ běn lái xiǎng mǎi qīng níng， dàn huáng níng méng yě kě yǐ。/ hēi méi de qīng chén / zhǐ jiān cán liú wú huā guǒ de hén jì / jiē dào yī rán chén shuì

It's Lulu Island, 3 August 2025. After supper—green figs tender with sunlight, sweet vinegar from yesterday’s pickled jar, and reheated Alfredo—I sat on the balcony and watched the conifer. Stillness below, a street without cars, without haste. My lime water, iced, caught the light. Michael, the Franco-Danish ufologist, has been in my conversations lately. We speak of inner things: the trance of smart devices, the mind’s eye dwindling. He says cafés aren’t cafés anymore. People forget how to look, how to linger. I tell him of Arthur in Japan—how he'd stare into blank walls like a monk gazing at emptiness. Lately I ask machines to speak like poets, and they do. They mimic Elizabethan verses and the old wistful lilt of Tagalog ballads. I pick blackberries along the path to Tim Hortons. "¡Moras!" I shout like a child. My friend Mora, whose blood flows with Andes mist, would smile. Today, I bought lemons. I meant limes, but lemons are all right. / blackberry morning— / a fig's ghost on my fingers / and the street still sleeps

除夕夜，窗外雪落无声，屋内灯光暖人，锅里热气腾腾。chú xī yè， chuāng wài xuě luò wú shēng， wū nèi dēng guāng nuǎn rén， guō lǐ rè qì téng téng。
