眼睛很難說謊。
很多話,眼神清清淡淡地全說完了,
無需任何綴飾,幾近赤裸。
有意識地在交易時、散步時、趕捷運時...各式日常生活瑣事中,微笑地與人兩眼相視,直至今日,已 3.5 個月。
發現一些有趣的現象,會接住我眼神的,只有老人、東南亞移工,小孩次之;如果場域是在公園,特別是花博,帶著孩子的母親也會微笑以對,父親,很少。
上上週我在花博發呆,因為我一個微笑,一位伯伯坐到我身邊和我聊起天,說著家裡四個孩子、孫子的狀況,還請我吃餅乾,知道我閒來無事愛坐在公園曬太陽,就邀我一起散步台北城。他說,因為聊得來的實在不多,我老婆不愛四處走,你喜歡的話,我們一起走。
很溫暖的邀請。
上週我又坐在228看松鼠、鴿子、滿滿的綠,隔壁大嬸開始盤問我祖宗八代、家裡狀況、婚姻狀況後,和我說他兒子也單身,眼光超高、還不給媽媽介紹。
大嬸實在話夾子太開,我只好找機會溜走,臨走時,她幾近喊叫地說,我覺得你很適合我兒子耶,你們配起來剛剛好。
這次,不意外地,我又在228附近迷了一段路,心裡想的是,阿木不會也在公園攀談某個路人後說,你要不要認識我女兒。
情何以堪呀。對我,亦對母親。
Ulay , Oh 這首歌背後有個故事,一對藝術家在初次相遇30年後的相互凝視,30年間,歷經相戀、共同創作、分手...。
我喜歡看進人的雙眼,眼睛很難說謊。很多話,眼神清清淡淡地全說完了,無需任何綴飾,幾近赤裸。
敢裸奔的人,著實不多。
後記:
(1)和藝術家相戀,會經歷深刻的痛楚與甜蜜,一不小心,就成了撕裂。慎入。

Ulay , Oh
There she was like a picture
There she was, she was just the same
There she was; he just had to know that she had forgot his name
Ulay, Ulay, Oh
Thinking back to the last time
On the wall as they turned away
Walking back; was it just a dream or did he hear her say:
"Ulay, Ulay, Oh"?
Trying his best to forget her
Trying his best to just keep his stride
Kept his word, but he knows he heard:
"Ulay, Ulay, Oh Ulay, Ulay, Oh"
There she was like a picture
There she was, she was just the same
There she was; he just had to know she had not forgot his name
Ulay, Ulay, Oh
Ulay, Ulay, Oh
Ulay, Ulay, Oh
Ulay, Ulay, Oh
Ulay, Ulay, Oh
Ulay, Ulay, Oh
Ulay, Ulay, Oh
There he was like his picture
There he was; he was just the same
There he was. He could never know she could never give his name
Ulay, Ulay, Oh
Thinking back to the last time
On the wall as he turned away
Turning back, did he even know?
Did he ever hear her say:
"Ulay, Ulay, Oh"?
Trying her best to foget him
Trying her best just to keep her stride
Ulay, Ulay, Oh Ulay, Ulay, Oh
There they were like the picture
There they were, they were just the same
There they were, but he walked away and her eyes could only say:
"Ulay, Ulay, Oh"
