【To Peekers】
By Tian Yu Zhi
Please lay your hands on your heart
Feel the conscience, and ask yourself
Why you keep coming back here
When you should have
Played a few rounds of chess on a street corner
Like those old men do, until being checkmated by life;
Or gossiped tittle-tattles while spitting sunflower seed shells
Like those old women do, after their last sparks stamped out
If you don’t have an answer,
Please put "a peeker loser" sticker on your forehead,
Each time you come here —— you know
You are not welcomed, not YOU
A criminal often goes back to the crime scene
To check out on the victim, a sign of neurosis pervertion.
You know in your heart
You are part of the reason why she is here
Get a life. Stay out.

【To Lyrical Gossipers】
By Tian Yu Zhi
You have been naughty and busy lately
Stick your nose into other people's pants
Sniffing around
You rack your brains, arranging
level and oblique tones for harmony
Searching for antithetical couplets, and staled allusions
Paint other people's emotions with fake colors of
Showy, borrowed words, drawn only
Out of scant imagination and shallow observation
No matter how hard you have tried, nevertheless
They are still a low lifer's alley gossips in lyrical forms
With no heart, soul, or compassion
Maybe start from today, look very hard around yourself
See if you could find anything beautiful
In your own pathetic, unhappy life, and write about it, e.g.
That plate of pork tongues you love to chew on weekends

外两首:
【妄言】随感篇
文/天玉之
没有根据的猜忌 评论 推断
尤其是关于别人的私事
便是妄言。因为 ——
你不可能知道故事的来龙去脉 细节
你只看到长篇电影里一个表象的片段
妄言 不是好人品做的事。
它往往出于某种缘由 动机
有时是自己意识不到的动机,比如
貌似褒意的字里行间里
闪着银针 透着幸灾 醋意 艳羡
下笔之前 不妨先问一下自己:
我是在妄言吗?我为什么要写这个?
因为自己心情不好 太孤独寂寞?要知道 ——
妄言是改变不了他人的。只会使自己愈加不快乐
不如搁下笔 去晒晒太阳 让风吹走满襟的晦气

【七绝】 花圃 (四支)
文/天玉之
叶茂源光水,
花香自有时。
语浮芯上雹,
壅土积天禧。
