诗
Poem
I’ve written this poem before but always through a window, never through an open door.
我以前写过这首诗，但总是隔着一扇窗户，从未穿过一扇敞开的门。

Still the question remains of what actually speaks in a poem, if not subjectivity as historically constructed.
如果不像历史上所建构的那样具有主观性，那么诗歌中真正表达的内容仍然是个问题。
When you read and understand a poem, comprehending its rich and formal meanings, then you master chaos a little.

I am still interested in the long or serial poem, but have written a few smaller things. I may start sending to journals again in a year or so... that's about it.
我仍然对长诗或系列诗感兴趣，但写了一些较小的东西。我可能会在一年左右的时间里再次给杂志投稿……仅此而已。
The "I" in the poem is not you but someone who knows a lot about you.
