摘要：

 Projectionist     There is nothing that I cannot show you,    no face nor body, hour of any day,    no place too far or strange for me to reveal    among the permutations of my light,    penumbras, focus and the turning reel.    Though we will never meet, I will know you    when you settle in your seat and the fugitives hide    and a green car idles in an alleyway;    while always I in my Plutonic dark--    unknown, unknowingly beloved--work    lavishly my magic with my lamp    and lens and spool. Look, the lovers linger    on a hushed side street. Look, the enemy camp.    And here you are, rushing between my fingers.

Projectionist.

Projectionist

   There is nothing that I cannot show you,
   no face nor body, hour of any day,
   no place too far or strange for me to reveal
   among the permutations of my light,
   penumbras, focus and the turning reel.
   Though we will never meet, I will know you
   when you settle in your seat and the fugitives hide
   and a green car idles in an alleyway;
   while always I in my Plutonic dark--
   unknown, unknowingly beloved--work
   lavishly my magic with my lamp
   and lens and spool. Look, the lovers linger
   on a hushed side street. Look, the enemy camp.
   And here you are, rushing between my fingers.
