珍妮丝·普林的灵魂
是摇晃和跳跃，
在莱维敦当地的体育酒吧，
与米娅和米娜，以及他们的乐队一起。
--鲍比·弗里斯打鼓，
杰夫·恩加尔玩主音吉他，
格雷格·霍克玩低音吉他--
（他们）似乎能将房子震倒。
天黑了，又亮了。
三个没有胳膊的土匪，
三块大屏幕
播放棒球、足球和篮球为主要节目，
所有的闪光，都随着节拍
从墙上回弹过来，
年轻的男孩女孩，年老的女孩和男孩
都随着这夜晚的音乐起舞。
这是一个典型的美国小片段，
每个人都陶醉在了节奏中，
喊叫着
彷似由重生的克鲁帕在背后
控制麦克风、吉它的弦
和鼓槌的起落。
他在由年轻和焕发精神的类年轻人
组成的群体里玩摇滚、跳舞、晃动。
那是在本地的一个晚上，
生日乐队在那里
庆祝米娅54岁生日
蛋糕片，巧克力和香草，
分发给每个人，
包括她的女儿塔莎和她女儿的男朋友麦克，
以及她的兄弟及他的妻子，斯科特和杰琪
朋友们：基儿，杜娜，玛丽，戴安，玛丽安，
艾尔、斯科特、丹尼斯、特里、珍--
大家喝着啤酒，随着歌声摇摆，
她的父母也来了，坐得很近，听着音乐，
想想其他人的父母的精神劲儿
从这里所有的喜悦中汲取灵感
在这种烟雾弥漫的乔的咖啡馆中。
AT THE LOCAL
(11 August 2023)
The soul of Janice Joplin
was joltin’ and jumpin’
at the sports bar Local in Levittown
with Mia & Mina and their band
—Bobby Freese on drums
Geoff Ungar on lead guitar
Greg Hock on bass guitar—
shakin’ the house down.
It was dark and it was light,
the three armless bandits
and the three large screens featuring
baseball, football, and basketball
all flashin’ to the beat
bouncin’ off the walls while
the very young and old girls & guys
were groovin’ to the sounds
of the night the music lived.
It was a little piece of real Americana,
everybody gettin’ into the rhythm,
cryin’ mouths on the mikes
and the strings of the guitars
and the sticks on the drums by
the reborn Krupa rockin’ in the back
and streamin’ in the crowd
of the young and reclaimed youth
dancin’ and shimmyin’ into it.
It was a night at The Local,
where the birthday band
celebrated the cusp of Mia’s 54th
with slices of cakes, chocolate & vanilla,
passed out on plates to everyone,
and her daughter Tasha & boyfriend Mike,
brother & wife,Scotte & Jackie,
friends—Gio, Donna, Mary, Dianne, Marianne,
Al, Scotty, Denise, Teri, Jen—
were drinkin’ beer and swayin’ to the songs,
and her parents, too, came and sat close to listen
and think of the spirits of their parents
sheppin’ naches from all the joy sparkin’
in this kind of Smoky Joe’s Café.
—Stanley H. Barkan
子宫的思想
（2010年1月1日）
汉译：林巧儿
在子宫里
我很高兴
漂浮
在我自己的海洋里。
我所需要的
我都有--
为什么要自找麻烦
而退出伊甸园？
我记得
你不相信我
但我确信
有这一段记忆
现在我看看周遭
想象女儿，儿子
以及他们的孩子
我想到
那段旅程
从那时起
直到现在。
从（首次）出生起
到出生，再到出生
遍布地球--
生命的奇迹！
--Stanley H.Barka
WOMB
THOUGHTS
(1 January 2010)
In the womb
I was happy
floating about
in my own sea.
I had all
that I needed—
why look for trouble,
exit Eden?
I remember . . .
You don’t believe me,
but I am sure
of this memory.
Now as I look
about me,
at daughter & son
and their children,
I think of
the journey
from then
till now.
From birth
to birth to birth
all over the earth—
the miracle of life!
—Stanley
