The islands in that area
As small as a bonsai, the trees in that area
Shaped by the typhoon into the shape of a bow
Just like the fisherman in slippers in front of him
The backbone is extremely bent, and the distance between his toes
is as wide as the mainland and Taiwan
At the offshore farm.
He guides us to steady our heels
Showing us how to cast, using live shrimp as bait
And we worked all morning in vain
Not a single fish was hooked, and not a single crab ate us up
But we were enthusiastic, releasing the line, reeling in the rod
We fought with the sea and kept catching a wave and a blue sky.
