闰秒
望着地球母亲
越走越蹒跚的脚步
你把骊歌的尾音
幽幽拖长
一边把整整的
一秒
沉沉交到
挥霍殆尽的浪子手里
看他又哭又笑
紧紧握住
这天外飞来的横财
附注：由於地球越走越慢，巴黎的国际地球运转服务中央局将在
一九九五年尾加上一个额外的”闰秒”，好让“国际原子钟”
与“世界钟”同步。-----95.12.18路透社
LEAP SECOND
Witnessing mother earth
stagger away at her advanced age
you stretch your farewell song
to the limit of your breath
and watch a man who is dead broke
laughing and crying
clutch in his hands
the windfall
of a long----- long---------
second
Note：With the earth now rotating more slowly, the Central Bureau of the International Earth Rotation Service in Paris will add an extra “leap second” to the end of 1995.—Reuters, Dec. 18, 1995
