诗歌｜是我一个人的错觉吗？

湖畔农民

是我一个人的错觉吗？
——史蒂文·格兰特·泰勒

是我一个人的错觉吗？
还是这个世界，
已经——
脱！轨！了！

股市如疯马狂奔，
新闻如鬼魅低吟，
一边是高空中无形的尾迹，
一边是舆论场的疯言乱语。

你听，
福克斯在咆哮，CNN在争吵，
真假真假真假——
交织如梦，乱我心窍。

是我一个人的错觉吗？
政治这场戏，
是不是，
早已没有正反之分，
只有幕后的共谋？

他们排练着对立，
演绎着争执，
却在幕后——
勾肩搭背，暗通款曲。

我在问，
我们是否正在慢慢低头，
放下警惕，
向那狂妄的，暴虐的，
种族主义的——
“强人”投降？

我在呼唤，
历史终会回望此刻，
它会说：
这是分水岭，
这是试金石。

那一天，
我们可曾认清：
什么是虚构？
什么才是真实

Is It Just Me?
by Steven Grant Taylor

Is it just me, or has everything
gone completely off the rails;
from the market roller-coaster ride,
to airplanes spewing chemtrails.

Each day, the news gets so bazaar,
from both Fox and CNN,
this disparity discombobulates,
who is foe and who is friend.

Is it just me, or does it seem,
that the body politic,
despite perceived duality,
are behind the scenes quite thick.

Their dialectics demonstrate,
a sinister veneer,
a rehearsed and scripted stratagem,
to manufacture fear.

Is it just me, are we about,
to acquiesce and to succumb,
to the whims and to the wishes of,
a racist, fascist bum?

History will reprove this time,
as a pivotal ordeal,
when the masses failed to recognize,
what was fake and what was real.
