气喘症患者
因为你推翻不了生活，你无法呼吸。
因为怕无家可归，你无法呼吸
因为你开始珍惜时间，你无法呼吸
因为你永远得不到漂亮的选择 ，你无法呼吸，你无法呼吸
因为你的忧伤回不去它的原点 ，你无法呼吸
因为你相信你不该远在他方 ，你无法呼吸
因为这里是死亡阴影的山谷，你无法呼吸
因为你不该在这里
因为你不知道什么要来，你无法呼吸
因为这是你的世界 ，也不是你的， 你无法呼吸
因为你休息，因为你奋斗 ，因为你不工作。你无法呼吸
因为你让世界闯入了你我之间，你无法呼吸
因为深呼吸的概念，你无法呼吸
因为你想选择 ， 你无法呼吸
因为你找到欢迎我的词汇，你无法呼吸
太阳在水面上闪闪发光
海浪拍打着岩岸
黄色窗帘紧倚著舷窗
推进器催促着人们入眠
你与某个穿绿毛衣的陌生女子分离
因为你征服的爱 ，你无法呼吸
因为你不会将我视为对等 ，你无法呼吸
因为你命令守卫关上门 ，让人无法呼吸
因为像无形的蜡封一样 ，这是个满盖秩序纹章的世界
因为你获得了神的正义 ，因为正义来的迅速又完美无缺 ，你无法呼吸
因为你受不了分离， 因为你的冷漠被击溃
因为你用那纯粹的面罩呼吸
因为你屈服于它们的中立客观理性:
她的绿毛衣 ，布满闪电的岛屿，你对爱的距离，你气喘吁吁的困境
你无法呼吸

The Asthmatic
Because you will not overthrow your life. You cannot breathe. Because of the
panic of homelessness. You cannot breathe. Because you have begun to worship
time. You cannot breathe. Because you will never have the beautiful one. You
cannot breathe. Because your sorrow will not return to its birthplace. You
cannot breathe. Because you believe you were not meant to be so far away. You
cannot breathe. Because this is the valley of the shadow of death. You cannot
breathe. Because you cannot be here.
Because you do not know what is coming. You cannot breathe.
Because this world is yours and it is not yours.
You cannot breathe.
Because you rest, because you strive, because you do not work. You cannot
breathe. Because you let the world come between you and me. You cannot
breathe. Because of an idea of the calm breath. You cannot breathe.
Because you want to choose a way. You cannot breathe. Because you find the
language to welcome me. You cannot breathe. The sun is sparkling all over the
blue water. The stony shore is laved by the sea. Yellow curtains are sucked
against the portholes. The propeller wants everyone to go to sleep. You
separate yourself from an unknown woman in a green sweater. Because of your
love of conquering. You cannot breathe. Because you will not address me as an
equal. Because you have commanded the guards to shut down the doors and take
away breathing. Because the world is stamped with order, like a seal in
formless wax. Because you have a God of justice. Because the justice is
immediate and flawless. You cannot breathe. Because you cannot uphold your
separation. Because your strangerhood is defeated. Because you breathe your
breath through the mask of purity. Because you consign to the pale of
objectivity her green sweater, the flashing islands, your distance from love,
and your whole breathless predicament. You cannot breathe.
