早晨 7 : 45 分 學校餐廳外一角 一個滿臉倦意的男子 披頭散髮的站在野餐桌旁逕自抽著根菸 It's me 一個蓄著俐落短髮的黑人在我旁邊也跟著點了根菸 左側鬢角還留著剃疤 嘖嘖 他和我搭話 ( " " 是黑先生 ' ' 是我 ) " How you doing? " ' Good. ' " That rain really makes it feel bad, right? " ' Seriously. ' 問候 天氣 很平常的開始 說著說著 他說要習慣 西雅圖的天氣是這樣了 說他來自亞特蘭大 聊到香菸 聊到雞尾酒上面的小雨傘 聊到車 聊到家庭 他愛說 我樂於聽 享受那獨有的口音 然而就在這些平緩進行之中 我沒想過的對白跳了出來 他說 " You know, sometimes people just talk too much! " ' Hehe... tell me about it. ' " When I come to school we're schoolmates, right ? " 他很喜歡 RIGHT ? 我看著他 沉默 他又接著說 " All I do is boo, woo, bang n tha's all! " 他邊幫自己配音邊做出客套打招呼等等手勢 整個演得很開心 同學 你好樣的 " But I dun wanna hear more when I wanna stop! " " They just keep telling me about those dreams n shits. " ' K.. ' DREAMS 嗎...? 我冷笑 " You should go do it, not just saying it. " " Like a friend of mine, he used to sell me drinks when I first got here. " " Now I'm better, so I said to him, man you got to catch up. " 那根菸不是很長 我已經兩次看著那菸屁股在冒煙卻不能不再多抽一口 ' cool, later man. ' 戴起帽子 走進雨中 夢想嗎? 實踐嗎? 有點沉重的早晨 一定是因為下雨
