Red Cone's 'striped' in Chinese translation

條紋

她一身條紋
他一身黑衣
她吃條紋通心粉
他啜南瓜湯
他的頭髮盤起
她的頭髮是條紋狀的啡色
她穿著白色襪子
侍應起勁拭抹藍色酒瓶
她起身走向櫃檯
搖身一變,她變成他
條紋不條紋
都變得太快
猜測瞬間被推翻

  2. she was vertically striped
    he wore black
    she ate rigatoni
    he sipped pumpkin soup
    his hair was looped
    her's brown striped
    she wore white socks
    the waiter rubbed the blue bottle
    vigorously
    she stood up and walked to the counter
    on the return she turned out to be he
    stripes and all
    change can be quick
    when the guess has been flipped


    (I found the English!)
