晚安 Goodnight

[marrfei]

晚安

她細心地把“晚安”
這兩個字輸入電腦
然後一一發給
付了費的
孤獨寂寞的人

有如把一碗碗熱騰騰的餛飩麵
外賣給
餓得睡不著覺的顧客

當然不會忘記
免費附送一個
美国中餐館的幸運簽餅
簽條上說
“今天晚上你會做一個甜夢
夢見這世上
到處是向你道晚安的人”

附註：報載中國有不少人靠在網上買「晚安」消解孤獨寂寞。有一個叫玖妹的「賣晚安的姑娘」（好像還是我的潮汕同鄉呢），在三年裡賣出了3000多條晚安短信，一條一塊錢。

GOODNIGHT

she carefully enters the word
goodnight
into her online message
and dispatches it to lonely customers
who have paid the fee of one yuan

just like delivering take-out orders
to the sleepless
hungry customers
a bowl of steamy Wonton Soup

and of course there's always a free
fortune cookie
that says
"tonight you are going to have a sweet dream
of people everywhere
all says the word goodnight
to you"

* A girl in China has been sending out online message with the word "Goodnight" to lonely customers who pay her a fee of one yuan.

Hi Dr. Marr: "Long time no see".

A short poem with a warm touch.

Below reflects my personal view on some very minor issues I picked up.
Certainly, it's perfectly ok the way it's now.

Best wishes.

晚安

GOODNIGHT

she carefully enters the word
"goodnight"
into her online message
and dispatches it to lonely customers
who have paid the a fee of one yuan

just like delivering take-out orders
to the sleepless
hungry customers--
bowls of steamy wonton soup

and of course there's always a free
fortune cookie
that says
"tonight you are going to have a sweet dream
of people everywhere
saying the word 'goodnight'
to you"
