When I practice Taichi with my washing machine
The sound of the machine balances my movements and my mind is at peace
This is my second time synchronizing with a machine
The first time was with a standing electric fan.
與洗衣機一起練習太極
運轉的聲音讓我覺得很協調,心裡很平靜
這是我第二次試著身體與機器同步
第一次是與一台直立式電風扇
運轉的聲音讓我覺得很協調,心裡很平靜
這是我第二次試著身體與機器同步
第一次是與一台直立式電風扇
Spiritual at sunrise, positive in the morning
By noon, I stand between black and whiteI seek humor in the evening
And stare at the refrigerator in the late night
清晨的我靈性
早晨的我陽光
中午的我站在黑白交界
晚上的我盡量搞笑
深夜的我望著冰箱
Ricecooker
A warm body that exchanges Power internally and externally
Water boils into heat that rises through the cracks
Hisses until the automatic switch jumps up
Pop!
電鍋發熱體,在內外交換能量
水氣蒸騰,內勁從隙縫中上升
嘶——嘶——
直到自動開關跳起
哈!
