Fire hydrants, as one of the most common things in daily life, are scattered in every corner of cities, but they are rarely paid attention to and rarely have any connection with poetry. There are many similar things. This time I started the writing experiment named "Fire Hydrant", mainly to explore whether such things might have some connection with poetry, and whether it could become a new kind of object for poetry writing to accept. It now appears that such writings are possible, and there are many new possibilities. This is just the beginning. As an act related to writing, the writing about fire hydrants may have temporarily ended, but such experiments will not end. In fact, they are going on in other ways. Fish LuDecember 3, 2020序：这是一个诗歌写作实验《消火栓》这个系列的写作，开始于2019年5月。消火栓，作为日常最常见的事物之一，散布在城市的每一个角落，但是它们很少被关注，很少和诗发生什么联系。类似的事物还有很多。这次开始以"消火栓"为名的写作实验，主要就是想要探索这一类事物，有没有和诗产生某种联系的可能，有没有可能成为一种新的诗歌写作对象被接受。现在看来这样的写作是可能的，而且还有许多新的可能。这只是一个开端。作为一个与写作有关的行为，有关消火栓的写作可能暂时已经结束，但这样的实验不会结束。事实上，它们也正在以其他的方式继续进行。鲁鱼2020年12月3日
