His restless eyes leap and scratch,
Mata resahnya melompat dan menggaruk,
At all that they can touch or catch,
Sama sekali mereka bisa menyentuh atau menangkap,
And hidden deep within his pocket,
Dan tersembunyi jauh di dalam sakunya,
Safe within its silent socket,
Aman di dalam soketnya yang sunyi,
He holds a colored crayon.
Dia memegang krayon berwarna.

Now from the tunnel's stony womb,
Sekarang dari rahim berbatu terowongan itu,
The carriage rides to meet the groom,
Wahana kereta untuk memenuhi pengantin pria,
And opens wide and welcome doors,
Dan membuka pintu lebar dan menyambut,
But he hesitates, then withdraws
Tapi dia ragu-ragu, lalu mundur
Deeper in the shadows.
Lebih dalam bayang-bayang.

And the train is gone suddenly
Dan kereta itu lenyap tiba-tiba
On wheels clicking silently
Pada roda yang diklik diam-diam
Like a gently tapping litany,
Seperti litani yang mengetuk lembut,
And he holds his crayon rosary
Dan dia memegang rosario krayonnya
Tighter in his hand.
Lebih ringan di tangannya.

Now from his pocket quick he flashes,
Sekarang dari sakunya cepat dia berkedip,
The crayon on the wall he slashes,
Krayon di dinding dia garis miring,
Deep upon the advertising,
Jauh di atas periklanan,
A single worded poem comprised
Sebuah puisi berurutan tunggal terdiri
Of four letters.
Dari empat huruf.

And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding
Dan hatinya tertawa, menjerit, berdebar
The poem across the tracks rebounding
Puisi di trek melambung
Shadowed by the exit light
Dibayangi lampu keluar
His legs take their ascending flight
Kakinya terbang naik
To seek the breast of darkness and be suckled by the night.
Mencari payudara kegelapan dan menyusu semalaman.
