Act of Birth

Ryszard Krynicki

born in transit
I came upon on the place of death

the cult of the individual unit
of measures
and weights

the military unit

progressive paralysis
paralyzing progress

each day I listen to the lastest news
I live
in the place of death

译文：

诞生于颠簸

我曾目睹死的境地

对独立个体的无尽崇拜

蔓延自权度

深入到肌体

进而成为一体

停滞在瘫痪中进展

进展在停滞中瘫痪

每天我都在听闻世事变幻

我活在

这终将枯死的绝地
