Ode to Kool-Aid BY Marcus Jackson You turn the kitchen tap’s metallic stream into tropical drink, extra sugar whirlpooling to the pitcher-bottom like gypsum sand. Purplesaurus Rex, Roarin’ Rock-A-Dile Red, Ice Blue Island Twist, Sharkleberry Fin; on our tongues, each version keeps a section, like tiles on the elemental table. In ninth grade, Sandra employed a jug of Black Cherry to dye her straightened bangs burgundy. When toddlers swallow you, their top lips mustache in color as if they’ve kissed paint. The trendy folks can savor all that imported mango nectar and health-market juice. We need factory-crafted packets, unpronounceable ingredients, a logo cute enough to hug, a drink unnaturally sweet so that, on the porch, as summer sun recedes, Granddad takes out his teeth to make more mouth to admit you.

酷爱乐颂 作者：马库斯·杰克逊 你将厨房水龙头的 金属水流， 变成热带饮品， 额外的糖在壶底打着旋儿， 像石膏沙一样沉淀。 紫恐龙王、咆哮鳄鱼红、 冰蓝岛屿风情、鲨鱼浆果鳍； 在我们舌尖上，每一种口味 都占据一席之地，如同 元素周期表上的方格。 九年级时，桑德拉 用一大壶黑樱桃味酷爱乐， 把她拉直的刘海 染成了酒红色。 当蹒跚学步的孩子喝下你， 他们的上唇会染上颜色， 像吻过颜料一般，留下小胡子。 那些时髦的人可以品尝 进口芒果花蜜 和健康市场果汁。 我们需要工厂生产的袋装粉末， 成分表上那些念不出的名字， 一个可爱到想抱抱的标志， 一种甜得不自然的饮料， 这样，在门廊上， 当夏日阳光渐隐， 爷爷会摘下假牙， 腾出更大的口腔来迎接你。

the lesson of the moth by Don Marquis i was talking to a moth the other evening he was trying to break into an electric light bulb and fry himself on the wires why do you fellows pull this stunt i asked him because it is the conventional thing for moths or why if that had been an uncovered candle instead of an electric light bulb you would now be a small unsightly cinder have you no sense plenty of it he answered but at times we get tired of using it we get bored with the routine and crave beauty and excitement fire is beautiful and we know that if we get too close it will kill us but what does that matter it is better to be happy for a moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all the while so we wad all our life up into one little roll and then we shoot the roll that is what life is for it is better to be a part of beauty for one instant and then cease to exist than to exist forever and never be a part of beauty our attitude toward life is come easy go easy we are like human beings used to be before they became too civilized to enjoy themselves and before i could argue him out of his philosophy he went and immolated himself on a patent cigar lighter i do not agree with him myself i would rather have half the happiness and twice the longevity but at the same time i wish there was something i wanted as badly as he wanted to fry himself

飞蛾的教训 唐·马奎斯 著 一天傍晚 我正和一只飞蛾聊天 它试图闯进一个电灯泡 在电线上把自己烤焦 “你们这些家伙 为什么要搞这种把戏？”我问它 “因为这是飞蛾的惯例 不然呢？ 如果那不是电灯泡 而是一支没遮盖的蜡烛 你现在就会是一小块 难看的焦炭了 你没理智吗？” “有的是！”它回答 “但有时我们厌倦了使用它 我们厌倦了例行公事 渴望美和刺激 火是美丽的 我们知道如果靠得太近 它会杀死我们 但这又有什么关系呢？ 宁愿享受片刻的快乐 在美中化为灰烬 也不愿长久地活着 却一直感到无聊 所以我们把所有的生命 都揉成一小团 然后孤注一掷 这就是生命的意义 宁愿瞬间成为美的一部分 然后消逝 也不愿永恒存在 却从未触及美 我们对生活的态度是 来去自如 我们就像人类以前的样子 在他们变得过于文明 以至于无法享受生活之前” 还没等我反驳他的哲学 它就跑去 在一只专利打火机上自焚了 我个人并不认同他 我宁愿拥有减半的快乐 和加倍的寿命 但与此同时 我希望自己也能有一样东西 像他渴望自焚那样强烈地渴望着

Writing Poetry: Tips from Thanhha Lai 1. Use as few words as possible. First, write down your line. Then cut one word at a time while asking yourself, Has the meaning changed? If not, keep cutting. You want the syrup without any sap. 2. Conjure up fresh, concise images. Surprise the readers whenever possible. For example, instead of: "He killed the chicken," write: "A red line appeared across the hen's neck." 3. Say it without actually saying it. When conveying emotions, instead of outright saying, "She's sad (or happy)," employ an image or detail that reveals the character. Instead of: "She's sad he cut down her biggest papaya." Try: "Black seeds spill / like clusters of eyes / wet and crying."

诗歌创作：清霞·赖的小贴士 1. 尽量少用词。首先，写下你的诗句。然后一次删一个词，同时问自己：意思变了吗？如果没有，就继续删。你想要的是浓缩的精华，而非稀薄的汁液。 2. 创造新颖、凝练的意象。尽可能地给读者惊喜。例如，与其写：“他杀了那只鸡”，不如写：“一道红线出现在母鸡的脖颈上。” 3. 言外之意。在表达情感时，与其直接说“她很伤心（或高兴）”，不如运用一个意象或细节来展现人物。与其写：“她很难过他砍掉了她最大的木瓜”，不如尝试写：“黑色的籽粒洒落 / 像一簇簇眼睛 / 湿漉漉地哭泣着。”

Two More Papayas I see them first. Two green thumbs that will grow into orange-yellow delights smelling of summer. Middle sweet between a mango and a pear. Soft as a yam gliding down after three easy, thrilling chews. April 5

又见两个木瓜 我最先看到它们。 两只青涩的拇指， 它们将长成 橙黄色的美味， 散发着夏日的芬芳。 甜度适中， 介于芒果和梨之间。 软糯如山药， 三两下轻松愉悦的咀嚼后， 便顺滑入喉。 四月五日
