詩306★My Dream Flew Away Only Once

Last month, I decided to take 
An employment examination for new journalists.
A postcard from a major broadcast company
Asked me to come to a little chic café the next day
In the early morning.
Although I did my best to be in time for it,
The interviewer told me 
My arrival might be late despite the fact 
Nothing had started at that time.
At the back of the café, the other two young people
Had waited the beginning of the examination.
Their arrival was earlier than my arrival.

Right from the start, the interviewer asked us
To move to another place by train; a station was
In front of the café that was the first meeting place.
I would get on a train with the other examinees.
However, since visiting a big city was first experience
For me, I failed to get on the same train with them,
Which meant that I had known a few on the urban system.
I gazed away at their faces getting smaller
Through the thin air between the double windows
After the each adverse trains departed.
Of a sudden, I terribly felt lonely.
I wondered where I was heading for.

I looked out and tried to get off at the next station.
What I was more anxious was the fact
Several bushy low mountains came out in train window.
Abruptly, a hoodlum picked a quarrel with me in the train,
But the reason didn’t come to me
Due to the greedy unexpectedness.
I wanted to get off as soon as possible and run away.
Outside train window, unknowingly,
The evening had slowly started.
Right after the train stopped at the station,
I quickly got off and would leave there swiftly,
But, unfortunately, he followed me with a loud call
That made no sense, which fiercely confused me.

I got tired of ignoring his call
And eventually pushed him down, which I wasn’t impatient.
I feared that he would stand up and counter me
And therefore I flew away
Even at a low(, which happens frequently in my dream).
I flapped my arms hard 
And tried to ride upon the winds as long as possible.
After a short while, my physical strength
Gradually began to decline.
At last, I fiercely landed on the road.
Then some boys and girls noticed and approached me.
They were smiling and spoke to me,
So I frantically responded
But somehow I couldn’t get well across to them.

Unreasonable and a bit poor rappers finally went away
From me while rapping craziness in the world.
The night was about to start without vigorousness.
Again I attempted to fly and fly high,
But couldn’t:
I failed to ride upon the winds
And fell down with a thud.
On this day, I couldn’t take the entire examination.
Even after a while,
My eyes didn’t get used to the darkness;
Nevertheless, the sun’d already hidden in a strange land;
And yet the place where I stayed with reluctance
Vaguely resembled my hometown.
