Man on the Moon

有一位弟弟趕著上課，途中，他突然蹲下，一蹲就是一個小時。
我問他在幹什麼。
他說：「我在看這隻小甲蟲。」

縱使到處充滿著仇恨和慾望，大家都為了攀到高層而奮鬥，最後連為何工作也忘記，生活為了工作; 縱使愛人終有一天會離我們而去，疾病會跨過種族的界限鑽進我們的腦袋; 縱使一切的巧合織成巨大的命運之網，使我們更覺自己的渺小和軟弱;

世界上還有純真。

就像溶液裡的結晶，純真閃耀著自然的光彩。可是它很弱，因為它沒用。純真不是拿來用的，我們不會在實驗報告裡寫自己在剛才的蘋果氧化實驗中什麼也看不見。純真也不能拿來賣，求職者不會在優點一欄寫上純真，以要求更多人工。

不知道純真由哪裡產生，於是我相信它是渾然天成的。

相信。

我也相信有一個人被放到月球上。



像相信這麼非理性的字眼，其實也很純真。
也很脆弱。

弟弟的雙眼頭一次離開甲蟲，看著我:
「你看，牠在葉子上走!」

那一刻我很想擁抱他，緊緊擁在懷裡，生怕旁邊人們的腳步把他吹倒，把純真的幼苗折斷。
小弟弟喜歡甲蟲。
我們相信月球上有人。
我愛你。
這些人都很脆弱，在社會上只有被吃掉的份兒。
我們一起擠進這個廣場吧，藉著對andy kaufman的思念，把緊握在拳頭中，僅餘的一點點純真，和著汗水，散發於十月的空氣中。

然後繼續走我們的路。
