Introduction ((Mike Posneri was born...Part 1))

In the summer of 2016 my band and I played 66 shows
2016年夏天，我和我的樂隊共演奏了66場
And, in a vain attempt to impress my band mates
為了給我的樂隊隊友留下深刻的印象
I performed a new poem each night
我每晚表演一首新詩篇
I would write the poem either immediately
我馬上就會寫下這首詩
After the show before or right before we went on stage
在我們結束演出或者登台表演之前
Or sometimes on the stage itself
或者有時在舞台上
These are just as few of those poems collected
這些詩和那些詩集一樣少
Intuitively, kind of at random
是一種，直覺上的，隨意的，（創作）
And I hope you enjoy them
並且我希望你們能夠喜歡
This is 'I was born in detroit
我出生在底特律
On a very very very very very very very cold day.'
在一個很冷很冷很冷很冷很冷很冷很冷的天色裡……
