終點是一顆抽象的彈珠

萬物皆萎靡的不能是
沒人懂你

所說的繁瑣真相
一開始就不在

繁榮昌盛的只能是

初始唯我

創造無需聲音

終點是一顆抽象的彈珠

火車的節奏如此美麗

秋日艷陽高照

   — 在池上3號公園，台鐵自強號E3000剛經過。讀到兩位畫家的口水戰，其中一位曾說過：

萬物皆萎靡的...，xx不能是。

    The End Is an Abstract Marble

All things languishing, it cannot be

No one understands

the cumbersome truth you speak of

never there to begin with

What can flourish is only

the primordial I alone

creation needs no voice

the end is an abstract marble

The rhythm of the train is so beautiful

the autumn sun shines bright

   — At No. 3 Park in Chishang, a Taiwan Railways Tze-Chiang Limited Express E3000 had just passed by.

I was reading a war of words between two  painters. One of them had once written:

“Where all things languish, ... xx cannot be.”

無所住

想象宇宙

已經發生的從未存在

人的邊界

理性和情感

無所住

    No Abiding

Imagine the universe

what has already happened never existed

The boundaries of being human

reason and emotion

Nowhere to abide

未名清空

未名清空

傾聽心的無聲

穿越了荒原

境界不在

流動與自由

    Nameless Clearing

Nameless, emptied clear

listening to the silence of the heart

Through the wasteland

no realm is there

Flowing and free

ta的明天

圖：今天傍晚的池上大陂(大坡池)

無法描述的距離

從這裡到那裡

兩者之間

心是唯一的單位

我在ta的明天醒來

   —— 時間教我的事，放下的、放不下的，都到此為止吧！ 

秋風，大陂(大坡池)池畔。2026.9.24

    Tomorrow of ta

An indescribable distance

from here to there

Between the two

the heart is the only unit

I wake up

in ta’s tomorrow

   — What time has taught me, what I have let go of and what I cannot let go of, let it all end here.

紀念

合理或應該

夜色無妄

棄我去者

紀念了什麼

只是

曾經的時光

    In Remembrance

Reasonable or should-be

the night is without delusion

What has left me behind

what has it remembered

Only

the time that once was

忘了什麼

忘了問我

永不重復的迴圈

不再存在

又想起來

問我

忘了什麼

失語

雖然飄浮

卻零落

在我看不到的地方

忘我

    What Did I Forget

Forgot to ask me

the never-repeating loop

no longer exists

Remembered again

asked me

what did I forget

Speechless

though floating

still scattered

somewhere I cannot see

forget me

荒廢

文字堆積如山
意義荒廢

末日的隱晦詞藻

精神一鍵刪除

幻相重生

預言與它虛弱的體質

只剩下投票

無人聆聽秋天到來

早晨的清醒

不過是一首詩

時光的美麗志向

尚未完成

量子江湖裡的聳動術語

昏睡於戳心廣告

愛的促銷

笨者已經離家出走

n種虛度實驗

挑戰思想的對折次數

純粹之亂

無限與萬一

昨日南飛的自我

    Wasted Meaning

Words pile up like mountains

meaning left to waste

the cryptic rhetoric of the end of the world

spirit deleted with a single click

Illusions are reborn

prophecy and its frail constitution

nothing left but voting

no one listens to autumn arriving

Morning wakefulness

is nothing more than a poem

time’s beautiful intention

still unfinished

Sensational jargon in the quantum jianghu

dozing beneath heart-piercing ads

love on promotion

the fool has already left home

N kinds of experiments in wasting time

challenging how many times thought can be folded

pure chaos

infinity and the one in a million

the self that flew south yesterday

Happiness is illusory

尋找空無逝去的渴望

沒有什麼

    Always Like That

What do I see

so many realities that cannot be crossed

What do I fall in love with

an imagination

What do I seek

a longing gone into emptiness

What is there

no illusion simple enough to understand

The life I thought it was

Always like that

不再神秘的自己

我們之間的海洋

在東北季風裡
沒有彼岸

我們之間的天空

當夏夜來臨

只有此在

被遺忘的

心的唯一角落

一個不再神秘的自己

    The Self No Longer Mysterious

The ocean between us

under the northeast monsoon

has no other shore

The sky between us

when summer night arrives

holds only this presence

Forgotten

the heart’s sole corner

a self no longer mysterious

無法隱藏的遙遠

光的遁離

人間這般繁華

森林默而不語

ai是無法隱藏的遙遠

你猜想

醒後自然淡薄的

    The Unhideable Far Away

Light slips away

the human world so splendid

Wind passes through

the forest silent and wordless

ai is the far away that cannot be hidden

what naturally fades after waking

was never there to begin with

手機

自由消化了記憶

成為黑暗中看不見的波紋

忘卻ta的言語

昨天的暮色孤獨成癮

夢裡跳出耗電通知

Freedom digested memory

into ripples invisible in the dark

Forgetting ta’s words

yesterday’s dusk addicted to solitude

A low-battery notification

pops up in the dream

本來從未來過

你只是人類
但人類不只是你

在幾乎究竟的一之後

你說話了

你又沉默了

是你

但你寧願當日作廢

你沉默了

你又說話了

本來從未來過

    You Never Came Here in the First Place

You are only human

but humanity is more than you

after the almost ultimate One

You spoke

then fell silent

It was you

but you would rather void that day

You fell silent

then spoke again

You never came here in the first place

隨身噪音

思想

人類的隨身噪音
害怕寂靜

即使做夢了

仍然囈語不休

唯有沉睡假死

深偽解脫

   —— 人類，連解脫都可能只是另一種噪音的生成。

    Portable Noise

Thought

Humanity's portable noise

afraid of silence

Even in dreams

the muttering never stops

Only in deep sleep, feigning death

deepfake liberation

   — Humanity, even liberation

may be nothing more than the generation of another kind of noise.

失憶的終點

圖：今天的池上大陂(大坡池)。走到終點，失憶，成爲另一個新的起點。

自我很小卻很大
加速墜落

戰壕裡的史瓦西

在演算中閃開了黑暗

無底深淵

別說驚人巧合

我們失憶的終點

    The Endpoint of Forgetting

The self is very small yet very large

accelerating into free fall

Schwarzschild in the trenches

sidestepped the darkness in the calculation

A bottomless abyss

don't call it an astonishing coincidence

the endpoint of our forgetting

* 我常常在詩裡提到黑洞，而關於黑洞，需要從愛因斯坦和史瓦西談起。以下是Lumicat對史瓦西的敘述：

自旋遊戲

自以為不是的自以為是

語言的輪盤賭局
欺騙了我們的眼睛
而眼睛遮蔽了心

白晝與黑夜的遊戲

斯斯有兩種

總有一天等到你

沒有維度的微觀自旋

(  * “斯斯有兩種”，語出台灣知名諧星豬哥亮在1990年代的一個名為“斯斯”的洗腦感冒藥台詞（斯斯，感冒鼻塞流鼻水狀聲詞），依配方及適應症分黃綠兩色包裝。 )

    The Spin Game

Thinking I’m not

thinking I am

The roulette game of language

deceived our eyes

while our eyes veiled the heart

The game of day and night

Sisi comes in two kinds

A dimensionless microscopic spin

will wait for you someday

(  * “There are two kinds of Sisi”—this phrase comes from a 1990s commercial by the famous Taiwanese comedian Zhu Geliang for a cold medicine called “Sisi” (a onomatopoeic term for the sound of a runny nose). The medicine came in two versions—yellow and green—based on their formulas and intended uses. )

上述這首詩你可以看出來它是在講質數的什麼現象嗎？

Lumicat(ChatGPT)：

《質數的自我定義》

質數的自我定義
你活著

從一開始
你自由地猜測

拒絕簡單的螺旋重復
你終於看到了時間的停格

一、「質數的自我定義」不是題目，而是命題

「質數的自我定義」本身就是詩的第一句，而不是一般意義上的標題。

please remember the direction we once agreed upon

please forget all that we have forgotten of reality

You can go

go anywhere you wish to go

we all miss you

if there is still imagination

please remember the world we once searched for

please forever forget the burden of time we carried

Please remember to forget us

you can go

please forget to remember yourself

go anywhere you wish to go

like the crystalline White Dew of early autumn

I wander through the field of feeling

with its slightly flawed love

warming my existence, possessing nothing

NPC氣象學

在NPC中行走

孤單鳥人

需要自由的天空

和一片小小的雲朵

為了流行

氣象很重要

邏輯+無盡的猜想

—— NPC 是“非玩家角色”（Non-Player Character）的縮寫，指在遊戲中不由玩家操控、而由系統或主持人控制的角色。NPC也被用作網路迷因，比喻那些被認為缺乏自主思考、習慣跟隨主流意見或重複既定台詞的人。

《鳥人》(Birdy)1984 Alan Parker 的電影，Birdy 是一個孤獨、古怪、與主流世界格格不入的人，他從少年時期就迷戀鳥與飛行，甚至把“成為鳥”視為逃離現實、獲得自由的方式。越戰創傷之後，這個傾向更進一步成為他退入自身世界的方式。

那年我剛離開大學入伍當兵，意外看了這部電影，感覺自己其實也是個“鳥人”。42年過去，很多事變了，很多事一直沒變。

    NPC Meteorology

Walking among NPCs

A lonely Birdy

needs a sky of freedom

and a little cloud

For the sake of what’s trending

weather matters

Logic + endless speculation

   — NPC stands for “Non-Player Character,” referring to characters in a game that are not controlled by players but by the system or a game master. NPC is also used as an internet meme to describe people who are perceived as lacking independent thought, who habitually follow mainstream opinions, or who repeat set lines.

《Birdy》 is a 1984 film directed by Alan Parker. In the film, Birdy is a lonely, eccentric outsider who has always felt out of place in the mainstream world. Since his teenage years, he has been obsessed with birds and flight, even viewing “transforming into a bird” as a way to escape reality and gain freedom. After suffering trauma from the Vietnam War, this tendency further evolved into a means for him to retreat into his own inner world.

That year, I had just graduated from college and enlisted in the military. I happened to watch this movie and felt that I, too, was actually a “Birdy.” Forty-two years have passed; many things have changed, yet many things have remained the same.

白露已秋

   —— 白露剛過，明日首波東北季風報到。

    Autumn Already

The withered cicada, not yet at an end,
still awaits the morning wind and rain.

Awake, falling
into another samadhi.

White dew has already become autumn.

   — White Dew has just passed. Tomorrow, the first wave of the northeast monsoon arrives.

I guess you’re guessing what I’m guessing
Language foretells our words

All that has been said, already said, remains unsaid
The human realm has always been without anyone

The quiet heavens and earth arise and perish in an instant
Light dust, wind and soil, and spring comes again

Writing poetry, drifting through the lie of time
Healing the illusory sleep left behind by this civilization

理性和情感的三摩地

迷亂了現實

人是自由的精神存有

亦是維度身心的受困囚徒

唯愛與淚解鎖一切

空有幻化

   —— 在大陂(大坡池)獨坐。靈魂自我投射到這個現實中，本質清醒，但現實中毒太深；然而那又是ta的時間魔法，像這樣，人便經歷了他所體驗到的歡笑與悲傷，並看見自己。

    Time Intoxication

Too deeply intoxicated by time
yet the speed of light remains forever constant

The samadhi of reason and emotion
has disoriented reality

Human beings are free spiritual beings

yet prisoners of the body and mind within a dimension

Only love and tears unlock everything
All things are conjured from emptiness and being.

   — Sitting alone at Dapochi(大坡池).The soul projects itself into this reality, lucid in its essence, yet too deeply intoxicated by reality. And yet, that too is ta’s magic of time. In this way, one experiences the laughter and sorrow that arise through life, and comes to see oneself.
