堪稱真實的想象
愛一直以為
昨天只是
只是還未過去的明天
各種浮誇的廣告
各種不算存在
各種喉輪以上的氾濫諧音
都給愛麗絲
文明的熄燈口號
愛一直以為
以為看見
看見了世界不再湧現
妄念與清醒如一的我們
活著勇敢落地
但拉機和樂色除外
都給愛麗絲
—— 上來台北參加小學51周年同學會，這一年來又走了兩個同學。傍晚到外面公園坐坐，遠處傳來熟悉的“給愛麗絲”，發現自己對台北的記憶，除了捷運，竟然還有“給愛麗絲”時間。
All for Elise
An imagination
that could almost pass for real
Love has always thought
yesterday was only
only a tomorrow
that had yet to pass
All kinds of extravagant advertisements
all kinds of things that barely exist
all kinds of homophonic excess
above the throat chakra
All for Elise
Civilization's lights-out slogan
Love has always thought
thought it had seen
seen the world
no longer coming into being
We, in whom delusion and clarity are one,
live, daring to touch ground
Except for laji and lese
live, daring to touch ground
Except for laji and lese
All for Elise
— I came up to Taipei for my elementary school’s 51st anniversary reunion. Two more of my former classmates have passed away over the past year.
I suddenly realized that, apart from the MRT, my memories of Taipei also included the time of day when the garbage trucks came around, playing Für Elise.
Toward evening, I went out and sat in a park. From somewhere in the distance came the familiar strains of Für Elise.
