A Huge Pill
大顆藥丸
The Young Fire Eaters of Mexico City
Published Saturday, May 18, 2024 by jiaminn212 | E-mail this post
墨西哥城的年輕吞火人
他們灌一大口酒精
朝著點燃的蠟燭
交通號誌的方向噴發。其實，任何地方，
只要是大排車龍，駕駛
火冒三丈又無可奈何只能尋求
消磨時間的地方 --- 都可以看到
那些年輕的吞火人。幹著他們幹的活
賺幾個披索。要是幸運的話。
不過一年他們嘴唇
會燒焦，喉嚨紅腫。
一年內就會失去聲音。
沒辦法說話或叫喊 ---
這些失聲的小孩帶著一根蠟燭
和裝滿酒精的啤酒罐
在街上穿梭獵食。
他們被叫做 milusos。翻譯
成「一千種用途的人」。
