围着桌子

一帮人边吃边聊

从周边环境扯到国际局势

吃空七碟子八碗

没尝出一点火药的味道

酒足饭饱

迷迷糊糊回家

半夜

被一阵枪声惊醒

我光着身子冲出房门

手里提着一个酒瓶

Gathering

By WEI Yanlie

Around the table

A gang of people are chatting while eating

Their topics ranging from the surroundings to the international landscapes

Despite eating up seven dishes and eight bowls of delicacies

They fail to taste the smell of gunpowder

Having dined and wined to satiety

They go home in a daze

At midnight

Awakened by a report of gunshots

I rush out of the door naked

With a wine bottle in my hand
