隨意門

1 回音
為了奬勵自己今早沒有因為想逃避而賴著不起床,就寫一篇「非學術文章」吧!

每天陪伴上路的,是擱下了一段時間沒有聽的Stacey Kent,這次回歸卻成了癮,愈聽愈想逃離這個愈來愈缺氧的現實世界……



I wish I could go travelling again
It feels like the summer will never end
And I've had such good offers from several of my friends
I wish I could go travelling again

I want to sit in my shades, sipping my latté
Beneath the awning of a famous café
Jet-lagged and with our luggage gone astray
I wish I could go travelling again

I want a waiter to give us a reprimand
In a language neither of us understand
While we argue about the customs of the land
I wish I could go travelling again

I want to sit in traffic, anxious about our plane
While you blasé comments drive me half insane
I want to dash for shelter with you through the tropical rain
I wish I could go travelling again

I want to be awakened by a faulty fire alarm
In an overpriced hotel devoid of charm
Then fall asleep again back in your arms
I wish I could go travelling again

But how can I ever go travelling again
When I know I'll just keep remembering again
When I know I'll just be gathering again
Reminders to break my heart

I wish I could go travelling again
It fells like this summer will never end
And I've had such good offers from several of my friends
I wish I could go travelling again

幸好暫時沒有令我心碎的旅遊經驗;但不知何時開始,「想去旅行」成為了同學間的壓力指標……

在沒有出路的現實世界,唯有手起刀落,在平面的二維空間劃出一片天。我的案頭,有一扇通往別處的magic door,因為現實世界,並未能禁錮率性的想像空間。



無論逃到哪裡,如影隨形,是祢所賜的穩妥。在祢劃定的空間,歇息過後,又再上路。

煎皮.拆骨.當箭靶

0 回音
不是街頭賣藝,也不是辦工室政治,是一次過滿足了三個「願望」的一小時。

還以為針灸、推拿,和拔火罐是三樣要分開幾次進行的大事,今回真是大開眼界(嚴格來說,作為一個全程俯臥的人,我沒有「目睹」事發經過)。現在,肩膀上還敷著熱辣辣的藥包,明天再灌一劑中藥;實在是從未如此Chinese過。

黃金十月把舊患的亡魂都召回來(實在有點像盂蘭節),這次我演好了我的神功戲(煎皮、拆骨、當箭靶;交足戲吧?),趕快「超渡」它們「上路」,讓我能安心走窄路。

死亡十月,圖書館的香火特別鼎盛。

什麼哈佬喂嘛?跟我學院的「盂蘭節」相比,簡直小巫見大巫。

(以上各跨宗教的意象聯想純屬個人意見,如有冒犯,實屬你想得太多,take a break, buddy!)
