I Hear Taipei Singing

捷運施工。台長家門外已經吵了三年。現在接近完工階段,二十四小時輪班工作的人員幾乎都面帶微笑。我們家樓下三樓的太太夏天還會煮綠豆湯下去請外籍工作人員吃。

因為車站組裝比較複雜,整晚叮叮噹噹框框琅琅,常常驚醒。比起剛開挖時因為地底空洞造成了驚悚回音效果又自不同。不過,我們的確期待趕緊度過黑暗期。

今天早上天氣特好,下了樓看到勤勞的工作人員燦爛的笑容,忽然覺得百工振興,整個早晨都很惠特曼,連一大早讓長輩責備的壞心情都一併消失了。

丁叮噹丁叮噹
我聽到台北在歌唱

Don’t you like Taipei in the winter?
It makes me want to send my pal a bouquet of sharpened pencils!!!!

I Hear America Singing
by Walt Whitman

I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear;
Those of mechanics--each one singing his, as it should be, blithe
and strong;
The carpenter singing his, as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his, as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work;
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat--the deckhand
singing on the steamboat deck;
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench--the hatter singing as he stands;
The wood-cutter’s song--the ploughboy’s, on his way in the morning,
or at the noon intermission, or at sundown;
The delicious singing of the mother--or of the young wife at work--
or of the girl sewing or washing--Each singing what belongs to her,
and to none else;
The day what belongs to the day--At night, the party of young
fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing, with open mouths, their strong melodious songs.
