Begins Here Poem by Haiqing Hua

始于此处
Begins here

思路始于此处
Thought begins here
可以看见的物体
Objects that can be seen
移动不止
Never stop moving
抓不住的灵感
Inspiration escaping

天空和云很安静
Sky and cloud very quiet
安静得使人害怕
So scarily quiet
可以听到一滴水的声音
You can hear the sound of one drop of water

月台上我遇到了监工
I met supervisor at the platform
一脸微笑、匆匆忙忙的身影
Smiling face, bustling hustling goodbye
严重忽视了的存在感
An existence seriously neglected
思路始于此处
Thought begins here

满车厢疲倦的人群
A full cart of tired people
一脸倦容一动不动
Motionless, faceless
暗色调的衣着
Dark colored clothes
使工作场所的灰尘和污染
Allows the dust and pollute in the work places
并不那么明显
Looked not that obvious

气味有时掩盖不住
Smell sometimes cannot be covered
暴露了没人喜欢谈及的一些秘密
It unveiled some secrets that nobody like to talk
没有合理的报酬
If there is no reasonable pay
就没有什么使人愉悦的工作场所
There is no working place that makes people happy

气味难以掩盖
Smell that is hardly covered
它飘散在空气中
It dispersed around the air surrounding us
始于此处的思路
Begins here this thought
如同难以掩盖的气味
Just like the smell that can be hardly covered
真的很难闻
It really smells
