Cleaner:(to camera)
They say my cleaning is the best
They’ve ever known. But cleanliness of course
Is an illusion. Those of us who clean
As a profession know the deeper source
Of dirt is always there. You can’t get rid
Of it. You cannot hide or put a lid
On it, as long as human life is there.
It’s us. The skin we shed, and then the hair....

Cleaner: (to camera)
And, in the end, it simply isn't worth
Your while to try and clean your life away.
You can't. For, everything you do or say
Is there, forever. It leaves evidence.
In fact it's really only common sense;
There's no such thing as nothing, not at all.
It may be really very, very small
But it's still there. In fact I think I'd guess
That "no" does not exist. There's only "yes". |
清潔女傭:(對著鏡頭)
大家都說我是他們認識最好的清潔工。
但是清潔其實只是個
幻象。把清潔當作專業的
我們知道灰塵的深層來源
永遠都在。你無法擺脫。
你無法躲藏,或者放上一個鍋蓋
蓋住它,只要人類還存在。
是我們。我們掉落的皮膚,還有毛髮…

然而,到最後,你實在不需要花時間
清理你的人生。
你根本沒辦法。因為你做的、說的每一件事,都永遠地存在。且留下證據。
事實上,這真的只是常識;
沒有「沒有(nothing)」這樣的東西,完全沒有。東西可能很小,很小,
但是還是存在。事實上,我想
「不(no)」不存在。只有「是(yes)」。 |
