與阿芒野合 (11):〈低調的人〉

Those Who Keep a Low Profile

Those who keep a low profile
Worry most about giving themselves away
They dress according to the weather
Vital data include UV index and smog
Number of clouds
Whether people carry umbrellas
Colour is the key
Wind direction must be right
So that scent drifts to
The least populated parts
Cemetery for example
Avoid creases, rough hems, slits
Avoid weight fluctuation
Live in a mid-sized town
For 1 to 3 years
Where static electricity isn’t static
And eternity doesn’t last
Not ideal to be early bird
Not ideal to be night owl
Follow a regular routine
Without being too regular
Set mobile to vibrate
Without too much vibration
Cross the street at a reasonable speed
Simulate orgy between mice and elephants
Maintaining the position for an average of
4 seasons a year
24 solar terms a year
Pruning one’s branches
Do not sneeze
Do not snore
Do not spark a war
Do not spank the kids
One breath gliding through a day
Farts weak or soft
Cook by steaming or boiling
Never sauté over high heat
Deep fry
Or use words such as fry
Shop on the most crowded day
With a feather
Brush merchandise off the shelf
Pay with the right amount of change
Go out of the revolving door
And never look back


〈低調的人〉

低調的人
最擔心形跡敗露
看天氣穿衣
重要數據是紫外線和煙霧
雲多雲少
眾人是否撐傘
關鍵是顏色
風向要對
氣味飄向
人煙最少的一方
比如墓地
避免摺痕、毛邊、裂口
避免忽胖忽瘦
在一個不大不小的鎮
住上 1 至 3 年不等
靜電不靜
永恆不長
不好早睡早起
不好晚睡晚起
行事固定
也不能太固定
手機設定震動
也不能太震動
用中庸的速度過街
模擬老鼠和大象雜交
如此姿勢平均
一年 4 季
一年 24 節氣
修剪枝葉
不打鼾
不打噴嚏
不打仗
不打小孩
一口呼吸滑過一日
弱弱,或輕輕,放屁
食物或蒸或煮
絕不大火快炒
油炸
或使用油炸這類字眼
選人最多的一天逛街
用羽毛
掃下貨架上的東西
自備零錢結帳
從旋轉門出去
不回頭
