既然大家都因為掉了東西在難過，不如就來唸一首「失去的藝術」。

假如你看過《偷穿高跟鞋》(In Her Shoes)大概就會對這首詩印象深刻。我八成也已經介紹過了。只能說：好詩再讀一次也無妨！
(我還是覺得小說 In Her Shoes 比較好看！不過，電影也沒得挑剔啦！)

One Art

Elizabeth Bishop

The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster.

--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident
the art of losing’s not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

掉東西令人心傷，掉了充滿回憶的小東西、很有紀念價值的小東西、甚至一個城市、過去的城市、未來的城市......

每天都「遺失」一點什麼吧！沒多久，你就是「遺失達人」了！

甚至....遺失去了妳頑皮的微笑、奇特手勢、要笑不笑的表情也不難適應，雖然遺失了妳........[妳寫呀！] 有可能看起來像是一場大災難！

哀呀！口是心非的畢夏普女士被小女朋友遺棄，下筆真艱難呀！
