異性戀之內:非人力資源記事 ◎黃裕邦
諷刺的是,我靠數算暗角度日。
浴缸滲水的彎角,蜘蛛網
旁邊的楔子。我依靠它們。
的確耐人尋味,升降機只效忠
垂直之物。告示說
如遇升降機生命故障,
請按此掣。放開後即可通話——
我養的寵物蛾,日出時拆出
翅膀,牠用扭曲的腳
匍匐爬行,從中得到安慰。
我不冷,我穿船襪。我那些跨過
門檻、邊境、心靈的鞋子
藏在室內,跟羞恥一樣,聞起來
新鮮有如刺身。叫我死基佬吧,
反正我不會游泳。我的炮仗花
向橫生長,向眾多溺水的章魚
反肚。我的德國紀念品說
「Glück」,但值得紀念的時刻往往過於龐大
不能框住。我想簡簡單單,細節卻越來越多。
戀物不過就是細節。請給我AA電池,
我在光天化日下帶著手電筒四處走

◎小編李昱賢賞析
壓迫從不會發生在光天化日之下
而是深埋社會當中
這首詩出自黃裕邦的《天裂》,而這本書是黃裕邦為自己於2016年出版的英詩作品《Crevasse》所出的翻譯版本,而這首詩即是譯自其中〈Inside Heterosexuality: Notes on Non-Human Resources〉詩題將社會裡的人做劃分,點出了詩的主旨是在探討相對主流性向的同性戀在社會中的地位、所承受目光、使用資源的「權力」等,而原文詩題使用的是更激烈的「非人類資源記事」。
由於黃裕邦為香港人,母語為粵語,因此詩中也不乏粵語的思維和語法。在粵語中會以「彎」、「曲」去對比「直」、「正常」以分別代表同志和異性戀,因此詩人在頭兩段即藉由這樣的意象玩了文字遊戲,也在其他段落有類似的運用。「浴缸滲水的彎角,蜘蛛網/旁邊的楔子。我依靠它們」對比彎角,楔子是相對筆直的物品,說明在社會中同性戀在許多層面仍需要依靠異性戀,無論是在認同上或是基本權利上。
至於第二段,表面上升降機正常運作是常識,詩人在此將升降機(lift)與生命(life)做連結,藉由敘述升降機由於物理性的原則只效忠垂直的升降操作,嘲諷社會上的資源只為異性戀來服務,而並無考慮到其他的生命。
敘述遞進,詩人也繼續使用「扭曲的腳」、「船襪」、「向橫生長」等延續對比垂直、正常之物的彎曲意象。
來到詩的尾聲,「我在光天化日下帶著手電筒四處走」的原文為「I carry a torch in broad daylight.」,「carry a torch」指的是單相思的愛戀狀態,翻譯下來即為我在廣闊的日光下單戀。說明了詩人期待有一天同志能不用在意社會的眼光,在光天化日下能不必畏畏縮縮的戀愛。
全詩在句式上非常特別,以一段三行、斷句零散的方式貫穿整首詩。內容直白而真摯,詩人藉由描繪直與彎的兩種意象代指同志在社會中的處境,也在末尾提出了其感性的呼告,希望喚起這個異性戀主體的社會去重視其他多元傾向的生命和權利。

由於《天裂》一書為原文作品的翻譯出版,因此有些文字運用上在為了不失真的情況下會異於中文常見語法,需要拐個彎才能了解意思。我推薦大家去閱讀原文的版本,除了更深入的瞭解這首詩的內容,以不同的語言閱讀時也會有不同感受,謹在此附上這首的原文版
〈Inside Heterosexuality: Notes on Non-Human Resources〉
Irony is I count corner to survive.
Leaking turns of a tub, a door
wedge near a cobweb. I count on them.
How interesting lifts are faithful
only to the vertical. A sign says
In case of lift life breakdown,
press the button. Release. Speak—
My pet moth dismantles its wings
at dawn, it has found comfort
crawling on it's crooked feet.
I am warm, I wear low-cut socks. My shoes
to cross thresholds, borders, and minds
are kept indoors, like shame, which smells
fresh, like sashimi. Call me faggot
I cannot swim anyway, my firecracker
vines grow sideways like drowning octopi
upside down. My German memento says
Glück, but moments always are too big
to be framed. I want simple, but details begin.
Fetishes are simply details. Give me AA batteries.
I carry a torch in broad daylight.

第一天明哥介紹了這首John Grant的Glacier
十分優美的歌, MV很有意思
You just want to live your life
The best way you know how
But they keep on telling you
That you are not allowed
They say you are sick
That you should hang your head in shame
They are pointing fingers
And want you to take the blame
There are days when people are
So nasty and convincing
They say things beyond belief
That sting and leave you wincing
And to boot they say their words
Come straight down from above
And they really seem to think
That what they're doing counts as love
This pain
It is a glacier moving through you
And carving out deep valleys
And creating spectacular landscapes
And nourishing the ground
With precious minerals and other stuff
So, don't you become paralyzed with fear
When things seem particularly rough
Don't you pay them f**kers as they say no never mind
They don't give two sh**s about you. It's the blind leading the blind
What they want is commonly referred to as theocracy
And what that boils down to is referred as hypocrisy
Don't listen to anyone; get answers on your own
Even if it means that sometimes you feel quite alone
No one on this planet can tell you what to believe
People like to talk a lot, and they like to deceive
This pain
It is a glacier moving through you
And carving out deep valleys
And creating spectacular landscapes
And nourishing the ground
With precious minerals and other stuff
So, don't you become paralyzed with fear
When things seem particularly rough
This pain
It is a glacier moving through you
And carving out deep valleys
And creating spectacular landscapes
And nourishing the ground
With precious minerals and other stuff
So, don't you become paralyzed with fear
When things seem particularly rough
