书非借不能读也

老八塞给我了本木心的“哥伦比亚的倒影”，我很虔诚的读了，发现就只有“上海赋”可看，其它的都像一个老头嘟嘟囔囔，成天念叨：“还是旧时光好啊！粪土当年万户侯，那时候有哲学家、大学者纵横古今、指点天下。那时候连小姑娘都更娇媚，抱着她娘的腿说，‘妈妈，饶恕我吧！’。。。现如今人心不古啊”。看得我老没意思。只有上海赋有趣，是因为讲的是故事，听得到对话，看得到场景，没有那么多抱怨。

然而三十年代的海派西式食品中，夺魁者何？当推“起司炸蟹盖”，“晋隆饭店”出品，每当秋季阳澄湖清水大闸蟹上市，蒸后剔出膏肉，填入蟹的背壳中，洒一层起司粉，放进烤箱熟了上桌，以姜汁镇江香醋为沙司，美味直甲天下。（木心，“上海赋”）（哈喇子滴成了一条线）

另外估计是我没文化，他老人家用的词我都认不全，像宝盖头加个“屯”念什么？加个“夕”呢？不会念又没字典，查都没法查，我只好自认文盲了。

很诚实的说，大气是有了，新意就寥寥，那些各大博物馆的门槛看来也没那么高。另外，把展厅内作品上的灯光打匀很重要。展厅不要用昏黄的光，否则容易使人昏昏入睡。

上周日去了一个西班牙语的读诗会voces con acento (accented voices) ，Bowery Poetry Club，很经典的纽约下城文学聚点。现在才开始读英语的版本，有一些还不错。有趣的是，即使在诗人用西语朗诵的时候我也可以跟着看英文，因为可以根据语音的一扬顿挫猜出换行和断句。

TAMARIU

Rowan Ricardo Phillips (U.S.)

That green gray-

green mountainsides

wander through us.

That wet rock wanders

through us.

That mottled sand

wanders through us.

That this inlet's

purred song

of wounded jaguar

that threads

through the high grass

of the masts

wanders through us

tonight,

when living

in this town

the size of a fist

feels like living

inside of a fist;

when you don't want to

drag me

out from my fist

so you ask me

to show you

the shadow

in my fist,

the ink

that I spilled for you

tonight,

this shadow

sweet shaped like

Núria Royo

who herself

is sweet shaped like you:

still 16, bikinied,

that freckle on her breast,

and swimming, swimming

swimming from

Tamariu.
