國境之南‧太陽之西 – Blog Finale

我記得。

The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action; and till action, lust
Is perjured, murderous, bloody, full of blame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust;
Enjoy’d no sooner but despised straight;
Past reason hunted; and no sooner had,
Past reason hated, as a swallowed bait,
On purpose laid to make the taker mad:
Mad in pursuit, and in possession so;
Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;
A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe;
Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream.

All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.

William Shakespeare, Sonnet #129

The expense of spirit in a waste of shame啊,there’s only pure lust, not love.

週末把妳留在我公寓裡的東西封箱了,包括一些在歐洲買的小東西,星期一就會寄出去。我沒有留任何紀念品下來。

回美國以後的日子過得很快,非常快,快到我趕完所有的作業以後一睜眼就又是星期五。我已經不再悲傷,想想將近兩年的交往,我為之難過的時間不到一個月,不免有些赧然。如果我可以這麼迅速的離苦得樂,那也許證明妳說的根本沒錯,我們不適合。我痛心的只是妳執意分手還毫不留情的多番指責,只是我想要挽回還得仰人鼻息的看著妳高姿態的說這一切都太遲了;至於那些情愛什麼的,不知道在什麼時候就已經蕩然無存了。

美國朋友很喜歡去Mexico,似乎覺得去了Mexico就可以解決一切的問題,Everything is gonna be ok。不,事情從來不會因為到了哪裡就有什麼改變;遠遠的國境之南並不是彩虹橋的終站,鄉愿固執並不會讓掩耳盜鈴出現任何的程序正義。對妳而言我是用過擠完的牙膏,所以可以侈言很久沒有單身的感覺然後隨手亂扔;我氣餒難受而曾經無以自處,繼而想想,這一切不能再是我的問題了。

下一個女友,或者上個女友,都會更好。
