In Front of a Flower I Unzip My Trousers and Ask By Bok Hyo Geun
Translated by Rodney E. Tyson & Hong Eun-Taek
The Quarterly Review: Poetry & Criticism, 4(4), p. 249. Winter 2001.
In a big hurry
I unzip my trousers in the corner of a flower bedIn front of the feeble stream of urine
One flower is smiling beautifullyThe flower surely must be the genitals of a tree
Does the flower also look upon mine as beautiful?I call the tree's a flower
And the flower calls me a penis
