History
Sits in the lap of a sculpture for a century
pees on itself
morphs into a fountain
for a decade drinks from it
Claims it is no good
And then
erects a new sculpture and a new fountain
The poor collect coins
of entrusted wishes
at the bottom
as if mad
(Translated by Maja and Steven Teref)

歷史
在一座雕塑的膝蓋上坐了整個世紀
小便於其上
化身一座噴泉
十年以來都從中飲水
說它味道不好
然後
竪立起一座新雕塑和新噴泉
窮人收集那些
用來許願的硬幣
在噴泉底
彷彿癲狂
