Shaving my fat face;
there are no wrinkles, just warts
and tangled eyebrows
太った顔を剃ると、しわは見られず、いぼとふさふさした眉毛だけが見えます。
When to eat breakfast --before or after voiding?The test of old age.排便の前後に朝食をとるべきですか？老後の挑戦A woman's backsidewith that fresh velvet curving --biting a ripe peach新鮮な桃を噛むことは、若い女性の裏側を噛むようなものです
When your enemy prevails/Just suck it up and trim your sails/New Management in old Kabul/means we must try the Golden Rule/To maintain a quid pro quo/we're gonna hafta eat some crow.
Denmark lifts all coronavirus restrictions and celebrates ‘a whole new era’
(WaPo)
Grab your bags and new toboggan/It's time to go to Copenhagen/No more covid in their land/so they say -- and ain't that grand!/'Course, if they are premature/their graveyards you may have to tour!
Some federal employee groups embrace Biden’s vaccine mandate, others are lukewarm — and one is outright hostile
(WaPo)
If you work for Uncle Sam/you may have to up and scram/if the vaccine you don't choose/your soft job you just might lose/I am vaccinated, Joe/I'll replace some high-paid schmo!
The night slow and dull
The moon laughing in my face
The crickets stay mute
夜は遅くて鈍い月が笑ってるコオロギはミュートされています
The night background noise:the hair growing on my cheeksrailroad ties plottingこれらは夜の騒音です：頬の毛が生えている枕木のつぶやき
The sound of a truckcoughing down the nearby streeton old bald tires古いハゲのタイヤで近くの通りを足を引きずるトラックの音
The metallic tangof rain down the spout todaytastes like Brussels sprouts今日の注ぎ口を下る雨の金属の茎は芽キャベツのような味がします
The scent of outdoors
mysteriously pleasant
reminds me of you
アウトドアの香りが不思議なほど心地よく、あなたを思い出させてくれます
Stuck inside all daythe seasons play without me --the fridge needs cleaning私が一日中立ち往生しているとき、季節は私なしで流れます-
冷蔵庫は掃除が必要です
One leaf leaves the tree --is it autumn or a drought?Or time to leave home?一枚の葉が木に落ちる
それは秋なのか、それとも干ばつなのか？
それとも家を出る時間ですか？
The morning glory
is climbing up the drain pipe
to its destiny
アサガオが排水管を登っています
その運命に
The morning gloryfaces the sun with purplebefore closing tightアサガオは太陽に紫色を示し、その後しっかりと閉じます
Winding around the stem of a sunflower --morning glory gripひまわりの茎に巻くアサガオのグリップ
The autumn brings doubt
my sickly peonies shrink
will we bloom next spring?
秋は疑いをもたらす私の病気の牡丹は縮む来年の春に咲きますか？
With autumn comes doubtCan I still afford bird seed?Mangoes taste so sweet秋になると疑問が生じるまだ鳥の種を買う余裕はありますか？マンゴーはとても甘い味がしますWith autumn comes doubtGreen tomatoes go mushyI blame the sunlight秋になると疑問が生じる緑のトマトはすべてどろどろになります日光のせい
Shiny red apples
piled up high at the market --
Doctors won't draw near
市場で高く積み上げられた光沢のある赤いリンゴ --医者は彼らに近づきません
A cold dawn kisswhile scattering bird seed --my thoughts fly away夜明けは鳥の餌をまき散らす冷たいキスのようなものです --私の心は飛び去る
The summers grow old,
losing all their teeth and voice --
but I will not weep
夏は古くなり、歯と声を失います --でも泣かないPeeling hard boiled eggs
for guests this hot afternoon
is work for Buddha
この暑い午後はゲストのために固ゆで卵をはがすのは仏陀のための仕事です
The evening cricketsfind a loose patio brickto their great liking夕方のコオロギは、ゆるいパティオのレンガがとても快適だと思っています
"And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith."
D&C: 88.
The Lord says faith and study go together hand in hand/We are not to isolate and put our head in sand/The world and all its wonders opens to the faithful saint/with wisdom pouring down from God without the least constraint!
