《Your Catfish Friend》If I were to live my lifein catfish formsin scaffolds of skin and whiskersat the bottom of a pondand you were to come byone eveningwhen the moon was shiningdown into my dark homeand stand there at the edgeof my affectionand think, 34;It’s beautiful here bythis pond. I wishsomebody loved me,34;I’d love you and be your catfishfriend and drive such lonelythoughts from your mindand suddenly you would beat peace,and ask yourself, 34;I wonderif there are any catfishin this pond? It seems likea perfect place for them.34;如果我象鲶鱼那样生活在池塘底，浑身的皮肤和胡须象个绞刑台，你在一个月色把我的黑屋照亮的夜晚到来，站在我的感情边缘上想，“这池塘边很美。我希望有人爱我，”我愿意爱你，做你的鲶鱼朋友，让你的脑海里产生这样的孤独念头，在安详宁静中，你会突然问你自己，“这个池塘里会不会有鲶鱼？这里对鲶鱼来说，可是个绝好的地方。”
