The Choir Singing by Grace Paley

从塞特福德山
第一座公理会教堂的阳台上
我向下看唱诗班演唱
对基督他们的主的崇拜
比较老的妇女高高的额头上
为什么闪闪发亮！
那就是此刻我自己额头的情况
今天早晨它在浴室的镜子里
好像显得越来越智慧
柔软的头发每日都损失
贡献给现实，智慧的表现。
From the balcony of the Thetford Hill
First Congregational Church
I look down at the choir singing
the adoration of Christ their Lord
the high foreheads of the older women
shine why! that’s the very condition
of my own forehead which seemed in the
bathroom mirror to appear increasingly
intelligent this morning the delicate
daily hair loss contributing to the
reality and appearance of wisdom
