我的心像一台連線的電腦
不曾關掉電源
也不曾拔掉ADSL

不連線的時刻也有許多私密的欣喜
桌面上擺著的
是老大寄來分享
是「和友誼畫上等號」的表徵
美得不像話的水彩畫

隨時可以化身成娛樂和教育的媒體
真正播放噐
媒體播放噐
強力DVD

用來貼照片和亂畫畫的小畫家
算薪水用的小算盤
計算成績的卓越計算噐
立即翻譯的眼睛博士

擺好看的感情聯絡工具
即時通
雅虎奇摩
無名
姑茍
Skype

桌面上看不到的
還有各種檔案
藏在化名之下
雜七雜八
像我的腦

連線的時候
腦子瞬時和另外六十五億顆腦袋連結
有理性的腦、聰明的腦、善意的腦、惡意的腦以及猴腦、豬腦
更有防不勝防、擋不勝擋的各類病毒
都來自那些有理性的腦、聰明的腦、善意的腦、惡意的腦以及猴腦、豬腦


今天一大早
發現自己的生命忽然攤成二維
平擺在一個螢幕上
就這樣................


記起了自己的年紀

My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun -
By Emily Dickinson

My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun -
In Corners - till a Day
The Owner passed - identified -
And carried Me away -
And now We roam in Sovereign Woods -
And now We hunt the Doe -
And every time I speak for Him -
The Mountains straight reply -

And do I smile, such cordial light
Upon the Valley glow -
It is as a Vesuvian face
Had let its pleasure through -

And when at Night - Our good Day done -
I guard My Master’s Head -
’Tis better than the Eider-Duck’s
Deep Pillow - to have shared -

To foe of His - I’m deadly foe -
None stir the second time -
On whom I lay a Yellow Eye -
Or an emphatic Thumb -

Though I than He - may longer live
He longer must - than I -
For I have but the power to kill,
Without--the power to die--
