A frog comes into our room. She squats on the floor, gazing at us
with her big eyes, as if she knows us. Can we talk about it?
Our similarities, sounds, a few basic words
like “wow” or “ah.” The biological clocks in our bodies—

they chime separately. They urge the frog while she urges us.
As if there are too many windows, everything shines.
As if she behaves like this for us. I hope desire is just like her,
destroying the body for a moment that’s never existed, and will never come.

There was another frog, three or thirty years ago.
It sounded like it was present but was not. It leapt here and there,
searching for us hidden behind the dressing mirror.
We had all vanished. It didn’t know what was going on.

青蛙来到了我们的房间

青蛙来到了我们的房间。它坐着，在地板上，
眼睛圆圆的，仿佛了解我们。可以谈谈吗？
我们的相似性，声音，几个基本词，像
“哇”和“啊”，各自体内的生物钟。

——它们各自在敲。它催促青蛙而她
在催促我们。好像窗户很多，过于明亮，好像
她愿意为我们而这样。但愿欲望与她相似，为从未
存在，永远不可能来临的时刻毁去身体。

三年前或三十年前，也有过一只青蛙，它的
叫声听起来在这里可是却在那里，它扑过来
扑过去，找躲在穿衣镜后面的我们。我们都
不见了，它不知道发生了什么事。
