I am sitting

In the morning

At the diner

On the corner

I am waiting

At the counter

For the man

To pour the coffee

And he fills it

Only halfway

And before

I even argue

He is looking

Out the window

At somebody

Coming in

“It is always

Nice to see you”

Says the man

Behind the counter

To the woman

Who has come in

She is shaking

Her umbrella

And I look

The other way

As they are kissing

Their hellos

And Im pretending

Not to see them

And instead

I pour the milk

I open

Up the paper

Theres a story

Of an actor

Who had died

While he was drinking

He was no one

I had heard of

And Im turning

To the 1）horoscope

And looking

For the funnies

When Im feeling

Someone watching me

And so

I raise my head

Theres a woman

On the outside

Looking inside

Does she see me？

No she does not

Really see me

Cause she sees

Her own reflection

And Im trying

Not to notice

That shes 2）hitching

Up her skirt

And while shes

Straightening her stockings

Her hair

Has gotten wet

Oh， this rain

It will continue

Through the morning

As Im listening

To the bells

Of the cathedral

I am thinking

Of your voice...

早晨，我坐在拐角处的小饭馆里

在吧台前，等着那个男人给我倒咖啡

他只倒了一半——我正想抗议

他看向窗外，有人进来了

“见到你总是很高兴”，吧台后的男人

对进来的女人说道，女人正抖落伞上的水珠

我转过头去，任他们亲昵地贴面问好

我装作没在看他们，给自己加了些牛奶

我打开报纸，看到一篇关于一个男演员的报道

是醉酒而亡，可我不知道他是谁

我翻到星座栏目，想找些有趣的东西

直到感觉有人在看我，于是我抬起头

窗外有个女人正在朝里看，是在看我吗？

不，她并没有看我，她只是在看玻璃镜中的自己我试图回避，因为她在理顺自己的长袜时

裙子向上缩去，雨水打湿了她的头发

雨会持续整个早晨，我听着

教堂传来的钟声，想念你的声音……
