As so with that, I thought I'd take a final walk 至于让与，我还以为坐最后走我

The tide of public opinion had started to abate 舆论的浪潮已经开始减弱

The neighbours, bless them, had turned out to be all talk 邻居们，祝福他们，也变成了空谈

I could see their frightened faces 我可以看到他们害怕的脸

peering at me through the gate 我通过门窥视

   

I was looking for an end to this, for some kind of closure 我一直在寻找结束这个，某种封闭

Time moved so rapidly, I had no hope of keeping track of it 时间移动得如此之快，我不希望保持它的轨道

I thought of my friends who had died of exposure 我想起了我的朋友谁死曝光

And I remembered other ones 我想起了其他的

Who had died from the lack of it 谁从它的不足死亡

   

And in my best shoes I started falling forward down the street 和我最好的鞋，我开始向前坠落在街上

I stopped at a church and jostled through the crowd 我停在一所教堂，拨开人群挤

And love followed just behind me, panting at my feet 和爱情只是跟着我后面，气喘吁吁在我脚下

As the steeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloud 由于尖顶从一个孤独的小片云撕毁胃

   

Inside I sat, seeking the presence of a God 里面我坐着，寻求神的存在

I searched through the pictures in a leather-bound book 我经历了皮革装订的书图片搜索

I found a woolly lamb dozing in an issue of blood 我发现了一个毛茸茸的羊羔在打瞌睡血的问题

And a gilled Jesus shivering on a fisherman's hook 和鳃耶稣在发抖渔夫的钩

Back on the street I saw a great big smiling sun 回到街上我看到了一个伟大的大微笑的太阳

It was a Good day and an Evil day and all was bright and new 这是一个很好的一天，一个邪恶的一天，一切都明朗和新

And it seemed to me that most destruction was being done 而在我看来，大部分被破坏正在做

By those who could not choose between the two 那些在两者之间谁也无法选择

   

Amateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clones 业余爱好者，没有诚意的人，黑客，牛仔，克隆

The streets groan with little Caesars, Napoleons and cunts 街道上也堆满了小凯撒，拿破仑和cunts

With their building blocks and their tiny plastic phones 他们的积木和他们的微小的塑料手机

Counting on their fingers, with crumbs down their fronts 望着自己的手指，用面包屑了他们的战线

   

I passed by your garden, saw you with your flowers 我经过你的花园里，看到你和你的花

The Camellias, Magnolias and Azaleas so sweet 山茶花，木兰和杜鹃花那么甜

And I stood there invisible in the panicking crowds 我站在那里看不见的人群恐慌

You looked so beautiful in the rising heat 你的上升热看上去那么美

   

I smell smoke, see little fires bursting on the lawns 我闻到了烟味，看到小火绽放在草坪上

People carry on regardless, listening to their hands 人们无论矣，听着他们的手

Great cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawns 巨大的裂缝出现在路面，地上打哈欠

Bored and disgusted, to do us down 无聊和反感，做我们失望

These streets are frozen now. I come and go 这些街道现在被冻结。我来和去

Full of a longing for something I do not know 充满了向往的东西，我不知道

My father sits slumped in the deepening snow 我的父亲颓然坐在了雪地深化

As I search, in and out, above, about, below 当我搜索，进出，上面一下，下面
