***********            等人时所作寥寥数笔

2000年底某晚,圣诞节过了,新年还没到。跟朋友约好,“接头”的地点却是和平宾馆的大堂。快六点了,大堂的人不多,茶座里,除了我便仅有另外一桌的两个人,也不停打手机,看来是急了。

厅堂里的装饰,如同北京城里每一个必须要过年的大堂。营造出的惬意,更让人不觉慵慵,反正是年底,休息的时候了,不如慵慵,让时间滑滑地从烟头上融化。

大堂还是安静地只衬着若有若无的谈话声。那么,我继续——等人……这时候,干脆掏出通讯录,写——

Ever once a day, while                             
I'm waiting by the twi
light.       

The lobby is empty                                                                
except the waitress who's in
red,                   
standing there with 
                       
a professional s
mile.          ------------           
                                          
      _____/
Slowly, slowly, the time
is passing by.
  ***  **  * |
Till the battery becomes low,
           
only my mood at twilight keeps high.    ***>>>>>>

Slowly, *  slowly,    ***      the time       
near the end
of this year this month and
this day
is passing by.
