每次想及那傢伙，他心裡難免生恨。可是恨不了多久，恨意自然而然會被無奈與無力取代，彷彿不曾生起。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoWCuZK0IC
輕嘆一聲。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk1adSkiI0
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0hkTzAkOE
媽媽的身影忽地浮現腦海。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ViDVS4TAv
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IBKM2jrPa
她是個不起眼的女人，普通得他早已忘記那張臉。只記得她怕熱，喜在夏日穿寬鬆短褲散熱，露出一雙細長白腿。他常趁著媽媽在露台忙於晾衫時，從後環抱她的大腿，把滾燙前額緊貼被清風吹得微微發涼的幼滑皮膚上。嘻，消暑妙法。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufkUhHCe0C
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ3s4nJpSI
以為這做法可以持續至小學畢業，或是直到他世故成熟得無法繼續假裝天真。誰料媽媽突然拋下一句「感情變淡」，離家出走。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvJQjBAkEd
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NfBj7Gv1I
他反覆思考何謂「感情變淡」。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aj2Hsm4c7
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0GSZZbvMe
茫無頭緒，直至那傢伙有意無意向他指出重點：變。「感情」，對媽媽毫不重要，否則她不會狠心如此；「淡」是相對而非絕對，若無經歷過對立的「濃」，「淡」其實不是問題；由濃轉淡的過程稱為「變」，也就是問題癥結所在。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwsNUUGMY3
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZVC5bWZ6N
為何會變？如何變？可否不變？450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HdF5bdifp
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRPu7g0xHw
他百思不得其解。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm30FeFK8i
再聲輕嘆。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqokkVoJT6r

阿杰的身影忽地浮現腦海。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJFtdjyEev
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYlaG0jB4Y
舊同學聚會裡，他和阿杰並肩而坐。昔日無所不談的摯友相顧假笑，努力尋找共同話題。阿杰唇邊盡是紅酒遊艇名錶，他只記顧商場即將在週末舉行的購物優惠日——妻子叮囑他務必買下保濕精華和優惠裝尿片。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dsxFZ3Xyf
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIivVhST2YV
真懷念往時。他與阿杰一起為那些不值一哂的天大課題感到煩惱：學業、夢想、籃球、愛情、人生規劃……後來那傢伙教曉他——一切變幻莫測，根本不由自主。無力與無奈令他深深體會自身的無能。他妒忌，妒忌阿杰仍在那個未醒的夢裡。阿杰察覺到他的妒意，露出一個輕蔑笑容。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KcYBASHcH

既要緣滅，何必緣起？450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOBSJGRs8Z

他百思不得其解。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRbNYQ7KmT

自己的身影忽地浮現腦海。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkhb4gZE1c
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvmXaXysoM
身影有前無後。難怪，少有留意自己的背。妻子笑說他背部有七痣，像北斗，可導航。他苦笑，笑自己人生無方向。因為自己看不見北斗？只好抬頭望天。天無星，難打卦。無卦，有掛，掛心的掛。掛甚麼？不知道，總覺得人生缺失了甚麼。甚麼甚麼？不知道，難以言明。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW52UpgH6s7
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9K7f4e93c
鬱悶。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPJRqFjh4Z

懷念媽媽的腿，想要抱抱。懷念阿杰手中的籃球，想要奪走。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMe5vxxkKl
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATlUCxJRfM
去抱！去奪！450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OzE2M8ymv

抱甚麼？腿已不在。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLiLz34v2B

為何不在？為何統統不在？450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0OFJIwvfU

他只得拼命追趕。走馬看不見花，花開花落馬不知。馬累馬停，他累他停。回頭一望，是天不是地。何時開始背朝天？不肯定，許是拼命追趕期間、忘記自身當刻。竭力抬頭，盡力挺身。不果，只得餘生躬背望地，無法望背望星。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYMv0YZEVg
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivITzHh1AS
孫兒笑問他為何腰背變躬，他答背上擔子過重。孫兒受驚拒絕背負擔子，他說無法選擇，人人不由自主。孫兒再問何解不由自主，他道是變幻莫測之故。孫兒三問為何會變、如何變、可否不變？他答不出話來，淚目凝視孫兒。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3RcpsaZK8
