早安,新北市!
May 10, 2014
實在睡不著。起來打個卡。有時間為證!
我好像真的第一次這樣欸? 大概從四點就醒了。眼皮很重,身體很累,但是睡不著,有源源不絕的思緒湧入,想起許多大大小小的事。這樣算不算小失眠呀? 大家失眠的時候都是這樣嗎?
早安,新北市!
早安,匆匆掠過的機車!
早安,鄰居的收音機聲!
早安,婉約的雨滴聲!
早安,一個個慶幸地發現還有新一天需要煩惱的人們!
早安!

His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
——Eliot, Preludes
他的魂伸長繃緊,跨越了齊整的大廈背後消褪的天空;或在四五點鐘還是五六點鐘的時候,被堅定的腳掌踐踏。然後塞煙斗的方方短短的指頭,和晚報,和一雙雙眼,讓暗下的街道的良心,好像確定了些什麼,街道卻急著掌管世界。我被許許多多白日夢感動——它們被捲起,繞住這些幻景,又握緊了好些多麼溫柔,又不斷受苦的人事物。舉起手擦擦嘴巴,然後笑吧。世界照樣轉圈,像好久以前的女人在空地撿煤,忙來忙去。(子宇不負責任譯)
