螺絲鬆掉

那樣一個人

支離破碎

不再擁有重量

因為不存在而存在

只是飛翔

   —— 2018年8月10日，美國西雅圖塔科馬國際機場（Seattle–Tacoma International Airport）一名29歲地勤人員理查．羅素（Richard Russell）在未經授權的情況下駕駛一架龐巴迪Q400客機起飛。

理查並非飛行員。他利用地勤工作期間累積的觀察與模擬飛行經驗，成功駕駛飛機升空，並在普吉特灣上空做出多次盤旋與特技動作。

飛行過程中，他與航管人員保持通話，語氣平靜而幽默，也流露出長期累積的失落與孤獨。約一小時後，飛機墜毀於凱特隆島附近，機上僅有他一人。

事件震驚全球。有人將他視為危險的失控者，也有人從他的談話中聽見一個平凡人被生活壓碎後最後的呼喊。

多年以後，人們仍記得那架獨自飛向黃昏天空的飛機，以及那個曾說自己只是個「壞掉的人」（a broken guy）的理查。

理查：「我是個支離破碎、壞掉的人。我想我有些螺絲鬆了，我猜吧，而且我一直都沒真的搞清楚。」

（* 八年前的新聞，一直在心中徘徊不去。）

    Richard's Sky

The screws came loose

a broken guy

shattered into pieces

no longer carrying weight

existing through nonexistence

only flying

   — On August 10, 2018, a 29 year old ground service employee, Richard Russell, took off without authorization in a Bombardier Q400 from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport.

Russell was not a pilot. Drawing on what he had learned through years of airport work and flight simulation, he successfully got the aircraft airborne and performed a series of turns and aerial maneuvers above Puget Sound.

Throughout the flight, he remained in radio contact with air traffic controllers. His voice was calm, humorous, and at times touched by an unmistakable loneliness and disappointment accumulated over many years. Roughly an hour later, the aircraft crashed near Ketron Island, with Russell as the sole person on board.

The incident shocked the world. Some saw him as a dangerously unstable man. Others heard, within his words, the final cry of an ordinary person crushed by the weight of life.

Years later, many still remember the airplane flying alone into the evening sky, and Richard, who once described himself simply as “a broken guy.”

Richard: “I’m a broken guy. I guess I’ve got a few screws loose, I guess, and I’ve just never really had any clue.”

(* That news story from eight years ago has always lingered in my mind.)

2026夏至台北

活在ai的深度無聊裡

夏至星期天

很多書店收掉了

焚風與冷氣的競技

刷著手機

綠燈快閃而過

我的城市記憶只剩迷路

    Taipei, Summer Solstice 2026

Living in the deep boredom of ai

Summer-solstice Sunday.

Many bookstores

have closed down.

A contest

between foehn wind and air conditioning.

Scrolling a phone.

The green light

flashes past.

My city's memory

is nothing

but getting lost.

早晨

沉默的想象

長夜未醒

時間剛剛遺落了未來

等一個早晨

茉莉花香

    Morning

Silent imagination.

The long night remains asleep.

Time has just misplaced the future.

Waiting for a morning,

the fragrance of jasmine.

荒誕短歌行

凡存在都美好

言語創造了意義

詩歌靜默

我們不斷夢中清醒

時光的想象黯淡

ta不再愛你

便乘著荒誕短歌的雙翼

真空裡踽踽獨行

    A Short Song of the Absurd

All that exists is beautiful.

Language creates meaning.

Poetry falls silent.

We keep awakening within dreams.

The imagination of time grows dim.

Ta no longer loves you.

So, upon the twin wings

of an absurd short song,

we walk alone

through the vacuum.

人類金魚缸

外面看得到我們

我們卻看不到外面

一個單面鏡的金魚缸

在大海深處

以為是宇宙

   —— 維度隔閡+認知邊界+可觀測宇宙，人類所處的全部現實。

    Humans in the Fishbowl

They can see us from beyond

while we cannot see beyond

a one way mirrored fishbowl

suspended in the depths of the sea

believing itself

to be the universe

   — Dimensional barriers, cognitive limits, and the observable universe.

Everything humans call reality.

荒涼車站

沿著河岸前行的鐵路

一座荒涼車站

想象等待

我們孩子般的心靈

從未抵達

在風裡

   —— 從台北回池上，途經基隆河谷邊的猴硐車站。

    Desolate Station

Along the railway

running beside the river

a desolate station

Imagining waiting

our childlike hearts

have never arrived

in the wind

   — Returning from Taipei to Chishang,

I passed through Houtong Station,

where the railway runs along the Keelung River valley.

而且

離開是最好的照見

靈魂早已遠走

無我是一切存有的開端

形體猶在世間最後的道別

而且沒有而且

    And There Is No More And

Leaving is the deepest revelation

the soul departed long ago

No-self is where all being begins

while the form still lingers to bid the world goodbye

and

there is no more and

543

語言的彈珠亂射滾動
碰壁成詩

這裡和那裡
早一個禮拜說出口的543

真理在自己的墳丘上遠眺張望
等待新的誤解再次埋葬

人類不想孤獨

    543

Language marbles

scatter and roll at random

bouncing off walls

becoming poems

Here and there

the same random 543 already spoken a week ago

Truth stands watch upon its own burial mound

waiting for a new misunderstanding to bury it again

Human beings

do not wish to be alone
