瞭望塔上拱形的窗口外
振翅翱翔着几只大鸟
广阔海湾的船舶往来不息
文艺复兴时欧洲最繁忙的港口之一

善嘲讽的勃鲁盖尔
用一条比尾巴更粗的长铁链
拴着两只神情各异的猴子
窗台还散落着一些坚果碎片

同样幽默的诗人辛波丝卡
把这画中情景
植入中学时考人类历史的梦里
醒来，浑身直冒冷汗                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
如果这两只猴子是幸运
逃离了被囚禁、驯化的下场
人类制造的另一残酷则扑面而至
铁链或许可磨断，腰锁将永随其身
