—譯新加坡詩歌創作月 SingPoWriMo 詩兩首， Sheng Siong by Jiawen Lin
.
習慣轉大人不代表不可以
買早餐脆片留戀玩具
習慣不下嚥不代表不可以
揀葡萄手癢任意篤戳
習慣打包西蘭花不代表不可以
學不會蘭花指拈開塑料
.
習慣狩獵展示櫃不代表不可以
看不見食物只看見卡路里
聽不見安娣只聽見
百倍千倍萬
萬輩我也被
紮根成松

Sheng Siong by Jiawen Lin
.
I am turning eighteen
And I still want free gifts
That come along with cereal
I don’t eat and I still struggle
To pick the best box of grapes
Without poking and prodding and
I still fail to rub open plastic bags
whenever I buy broccoli
.
I still walk past aisles and see
Not food but numbers and hear
Not aunties comparing prices
But beeps of calculators flashing
And I impatiently try to get out
Of this before it gets me but
It has been years of shopping
And I am still waiting
.
