Quarantine Chronicles
疫时写译
第八天:海边散步
Day 8: A Walk On the Beach

Write a poem full of social distance.

中文 English
我在海边散步, I walk on the beach
享受着地中海的阳光沙滩, Bask in the Mediterranean sun
喝着鲜榨橙子, Fresh orange juice in hand
和人群保持着距离, I keep my distance from the people
我感到很安全。 And feel safe.
一声问好, A greeting
有人跟来搭讪。 A stranger strikes up a conversation.
恰好我一个人也无聊, Bored with myself
回了他几句。 I exchange a few words with him.
但陌生人没有保持社交距离, But the stranger approaches past social distancing
企图调情, For a flirt.
让我烦躁和惊恐。 I am anxious and scared.
疫情期间, In this pandemic
没有两米社交距离, Two-metre closeness
没有口罩, Unmasked
让我惧怕。 Scares me.
