每每在回家途中經過" 烏龍村 "那個90度大轉彎的外環道時候,
火紅的大大夕陽掛在左手的繽紛天空中,
照耀著地上綠油油的菜田, 稻穗, 或, 不知名的雜糧初芽上...


這時候,
我總是會莫名地想起這首"一種神話(a sorta fairytale)"歌曲的這一段:
and I ride along side,
and I rode along side,
you then,
and I rode along side,
till you lost me there in the open road,
And I rode along side,
till the honey spread itself so thin,
for me to break your bread,
for me to take your word,
I had to steal it...


為何要偷走你的字(話語)?
還不是害怕從你口中冒出那些不堪入耳的傷害的話語...
就好像Annie Lennox曾經那般無奈的不解吶喊著:
Why don’t you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut,
That’s why it hurts so bad to hear the words,
That keep on falling from your mouth,
Falling from your mouth,
Falling from your mouth,
Tell me...Why
Why...


也許,
沒有說出口的就不會造成傷害!?
還是, 只是讓傷害存在自己裡頭...
慢慢地... 無知地... 化膿... 成了瘡疤??

所以,到頭來... 還是造成了傷害?!
一種必須自我承擔的自我毒害!... ...


眼前寬闊的大道, 也許拓展地無法切確地掌握方向.
但是, 何嘗不也讓自己多了一個可以開闊視野的心胸的機會!...
是你失去了我?
還是我狠狠地把你甩在後頭而不知?


我有時候也迷惘地癡想著,
是我妄想地追逐著夕陽?
還是夕陽拋我在腦後?... ...


and I rode along side... ... ...
