现代诗：聊天式

如果你留心听周围人的聊天，或许你会发现，人们日常的聊天，聊天时时断时续的话语，跳跃的似乎不相连贯的句子，甚至那些并不完整的严格说来并非句子的短语，怎么就那么像现代诗呢？

尽管经过一番精心构思，尽管费尽心机地做了各种调整，尽管搜肠刮肚地加入不同的调料，但是，那些被称为自由体式的现代诗多么像漫不经心的闲聊，不是吗？或许，它们真的就是漫不经心地走来的。

On Mona's Smile

I know what brought

that expression to her face.

During one of her sittings

Leo said to her, "you know, Mona

you're very intelligent

for a woman." (Winona Baker)

Song

You're wondering if I'm lonely:

OK then, yes, I'm lonely

as a plane rides lonely and level

on its radio beam, aiming

across the Rockies

for the blue-strung aisles

of an airfield on the ocean... (Adrienne Rich)

With Age Wisdom

At twenty, stooping round about,

I thought the world a miserable place,

Truth a trick, faith in doubt,

Little love, less grace.

Now at sixty what I see,

Although the world is worse by far,

Stops my heart in ecstasy.

God, the wonders that there are! (Archibald Macleish)
