    陳明發·日常生活

    我們有一些什麽
    可從這兒長出来
    一些尋常呼吸
    就可體認的東西

    Everyday Life by Dr. Tan Beng Huat

    What in our everyday lives
    might take root and grow from here —
    small things of living,
    quietly felt and understood.

    陳明發·冷處理

    冷處理能解決誤會?

    有時候,這想法恐怕是最大的誤解。


    我把榴槤放進冰箱,結果凍得像石頭。

    連香味都没了。

    Cold Treatment

    Can cold treatment melt a misunderstanding?
    Sometimes, I fear — that thought
    itself is the deepest one.

    I placed a durian in the fridge,
    and it froze into stone —

    Even its fragrance was gone.
