我们走马观花地读一本
《大屠杀》的书，书中
六百万人被杀，婴儿头盖骨
被撞倒墙上，整个文化
被擦去了，只留下
这个美国犹太人的杂耍剧团
读书会的评论家说
这个主题是幸存者
大家喊叫着似是而非的观点！自相矛盾的话！
We read a book ostensibly
about the Holocaust in which
six million were killed, babies
had their skulls bashed against
the wall, an entire culture
was wiped out, leaving only
the vaudeville Jews of America
and the critic in the group says
the theme is survival and
everyone cries paradox! paradox!
