The Phong
What I choose in this mad World.
I choose autumn, pine forest and sad sunshine
I give up writing poetry
and will not torture myself anymore
Do me a favour, my solemn-faced and wise wife,
Say to me,
"Burn a fire! Hang the mosquito-net!"
I am the voluntary slave who is fully contented.
Let us have a long sleep,
O wife, sons and daughters!
Tomorrow morning
we'll wake up early
set out to grow vegetables.
Outside the hedge
near the farm gate
We'll put a board " Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted"
In all the languages of the world.
1964
TENGGARA 6 p.95
