一本原來挺想看的書，終于有了電子版。沒想到看完作者的扉頁之后，竟然第一頁是這么段東西：

Phase

These still days after frost have let down
the maple leaves in a straight compression
to the grass, a slight wobble from circular to

the east, as if sometime, probably at night, the
wind's moved that way-surely, nothing else
could have done it, really eliminating the as

if, althought the as if can nearly stay since
the wind may have been a big, slow
one, imperceptible, but still angling

off the perpendicular the leaves's fall:
anyway, there was the green-ribbed, yellow,
flat-open reduction: I just now bagged it up.

沒看的時候覺得似乎不合時宜，看完覺得，嗯，這是在講一種心境。
