I don't need a reason not to care



You talk about life, you talk about death,
And everything in between,
Like it's nothing, and the words are easy.
You talk about me, you talk about you,
And everything I do,
Like it's something, that needs repeating.
I don't need an alibi or for you to realize,
The things we left unsaid,
Are only taking space up in our heads.
Make it my fault, win the game
Point the finger, place the blame
Address me up and down,
It doesn't matter now.

'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again.
This is not about emotion,
I don't need a reason not to care what you say,
Or what happened in the end.
This is my interpretation,
It don't, don't make sense.

The first two weeks turn into ten,
I hold my breath and wonder when it'll happen,
Does it really matter?
If half of what you said is true,
And half of what I didn't do could be different,
Would it make it better?
If we forget the things we know.
Would we have somewhere to go?
The only way is down, I can see that now.

'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again.
This is not about emotion,
I don't need a reason not to care what you say,
Or what happened in the end.
This is my interpretation,
It don't, don't make sense.

It's really not such a sacrifice

'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again.
This is not about emotion,
I don't need a reason not to care what you say,
Or what happened in the end.
This is my interpretation,
It don't, don't make sense.

And it don't have to make no sense to you at all,
'Cause this is my interpretation, yeah, yeah, yeah.

腳傷之時

最近受到腳傷困擾,令我忽然看清楚擁有健全的四肢的重要。那天在美麗華商場前面,只差三級樓梯,就能走進去,但我就是無法抬起受傷的右腳。當時我拉了一下你的手,然後你像隨時都準備十足,讓我大部份的體重都傾在你身上一樣,幫助我走上這幾級樓梯。當時我們默默無聲,就像我是自己走上去一樣。你不會知道這一幕對我有多深刻,程度就像十月時某一天,你帶著為我而排的新書到半山找我。我經常提起那一次我真的很感動,而你只會說那只是很普通的一件小事。你以這個身份,找我是理所當然的事,我也奇怪自己為什麼會感到奇怪。其實易地而處,我以我這個身份,同樣會去找你。

筆記

讀到魚之樂寫他的筆記,引發我也數一數我的記事本,這許多年來,大大小小的,達幾十本之多,性質各有不同。

有讀書時所寫的學習筆記,中文、中史、世史每科一本。英文科就有很多本,學vocab用的,有些句式,寫完又寫,不停地出現。畢業後仍然被muji的簡約文具吸引,買了很多記事簿,也就漸漸儲起筆記來了,內容大多是生活上所見所聞。

有段時間每日追看財經專欄,會記錄筆者所分析的走勢,結果半年下來,就再也不能相信任何專家了。

試過在巴士上聽收音機,播著陳小春的《相依為命》,不是第一次聽這首歌,卻被感動得很深,除了抄錄了歌詞,也寫了幾句感想。

當年《一本便利》在雲頂偷拍鍾欣桐的更衣照,有婦女團體在巿區派貼紙,要求抵制該週刊,那張貼紙,仍然貼在我的筆記上,但鍾欣桐已經今時唔同往日了。

還有大量日記,當中包括我向女朋友講的第一個大話,事隔多年,她還會拿這個來取笑我,說只有我這個無聊人才會在這關節上說謊。

我和其他人一樣,絕少重讀自己的文字,唯有在幾年之後讀起來,又驚訝地發現自己活過的日子可以這樣有趣,卻又和現在的相差很遠。

《The Go Between》的第一句就是" The past is a foreign country, they do things differently",書中主角在53年後重讀年少時的日記,重塑一段當時不明白,也就漸漸忘記的故事。他在66歲的時候,才知道自己13歲時曾經擔當過一個重要的角色。

或者所有筆寫記的人都會有同樣經歷,很多事,尤其發生在我讀大學第三年的事,看開了,想通了,都可以一笑置之。

水調歌頭

蘇軾

明月幾時有 把酒問青天
不知天上宮闕 今夕是何年

我欲乘風歸去 唯恐瓊樓玉宇
高處不勝寒 起舞弄清影
何似在人間

轉朱閣 低綺戶 照無眠
不應有恨 何事長向別時圓

人有悲歡離合 月有陰晴圓缺
此事古難全 但願人長久
千里共嬋娟



這是文學的慰藉。
