《TC10K，维多利亚，2026年4月26日》
文/和平岛
从太空看
一滴智能的流体
类似于手持设备游戏里
逃窜的光斑
图象中的像素点
投影仪上
一条蓝绿色缎面的河流
如果借用放大镜观察
它是一万多个象形文字的“人“字
构成的蜂鸟云团
在电子显微镜下，水的分子式H2O
一个胖圆长了出两条氢的长脚
正在排放大量的二氧化碳CO 2
我就是其中
被汉字简化得最狠的一个
变形记的甲虫
呼唤另一只
我们是十五六个
快乐徒步俱乐部的成员
被时代的洪流冲散了
在维多利亚市中心
钢筋水泥的丛林冲刺
类似于海到海区域公园飞奔的黑尾鹿
终点又回到起点
靠近女皇雕像和大图腾柱
我们找到了彼此
脸上洋溢的阳光
第四次了，每次都这样
太值得我们来唐人街的晋美中餐馆
大吃Dim Sum
TC10K, Victoria, April 26, 2026
By Peace Island (He Ping Dao)
Seen from outer space,
A drop of intelligent fluid,
Like a scurrying spot of light
In a handheld video game;
pixel dots in an image
Upon the projector,
A river of blue-green satin.
If observed through a magnifying glass,
It is a hummingbird cloud composed of
Ten thousand pictographic characters for "human" (人);
Under an electron microscope, the molecular formula of water H2O—
A chubby circle sprouting two long legs of Hydrogen,
Discharging a massive amount of carbon dioxide CO2.
I am among them,
The one most ruthlessly simplified by Chinese characters;
A beetle from The Metamorphosis
Calling out to another beetle.
We are fifteen or sixteen
Members of the Happy Hiking Club,
Scattered by the torrents of the era.
Sprinting through the downtown core of Victoria,
Amidst the jungle of steel and concrete,
Like black-tailed deer racing through Sea to Sea Regional Park.
The finish line returns to the start,
Near the Queen’s statue and the grand totem pole;
We found one another,
Our faces overflowing with sunlight.
The fourth time now, and it’s always like this—
So worth heading to Chin-Mei in Chinatown
For Dim Sum.
