MEETING THEIR MATES
Dream: 26 May, 1986

Two black and white spotted cats look alike. Both have the same little red
flowers on their heads. They have come to meet their mates.

Xueqin says it's the last chance to see the spring sea. I wait till she has
disappeared from view before I start to go. I can't walk quickly on the gravel
beneath my feet.

I borrow two art catalogues from a girl. One is a book of images of cats made
by a sculptor and the other is book of cat sculptures in relief.

My little brother stands in the middle of the room. He has spread white pills
from the medicine bottle all over the table. I told him: remember, do not
touch the things on my table. I am mopping the red floor. A cat sits on the
wet floor staring off into space.


梦1986 年5 月26 日——相亲

两只黑和白花猫长的一摸一样，它们的头上都插一样红的小花，它们来相亲。

学勤说最后一次看春海，我等着她走的没有影后我才开始走走，脚下碎石头走不快。

我向一个女孩借了两本画册，一本是雕塑家的猫，一本是浮雕的猫。

弟弟站在我房子中间把桌子上的药瓶中的白色药片都弄了一桌面，我对他说，记住，
少碰我桌子上的东西，我在拖红色地板，猫在湿地上呆着。
