我和迈克尔坐在离纽约市繁华的第三大道的一家小熟食店里,当服务员把盘子端到了我们桌上,我们几乎没注意到。
也许我们的交流算不上深刻,但却很生动。
我们笑谈前晚看过的电影,对文学讨论课上文章中所表达的内在含义提出异议。
他对我说,当他从少年步入成年之后,便拒绝别人再叫他“米奇”
,成为真正的迈克尔时,是12岁还是14岁,他记不清了,但他的确记得母亲曾嚷着嫌他长得太快。
我们开始吃蓝莓薄饼卷时,我把我和妹妹去乡下看表姐妹时摘蓝莓的故事讲给他听。
记得我总是在回家前把我摘的那些都吃光,而姑姑总告诫我说,那样会肚子疼。
当然,我肚子从来都没疼过。
我们的畅谈仍在继续,我环顾了一下餐馆,一对老年夫妇吸引了我的目光,他们坐在一个靠墙角的小餐桌旁。
她的那条花裙子和她身后的椅垫一样褪了色,而她的旧手提包就放在椅垫上。
老头有着光泽的头顶,就和他正细嚼慢咽的糖心蛋一样闪闪发亮。
她不紧不慢地喝着麦片粥,让人感到单调乏味。
他们不受外界干扰的静默吸引了我的注意。
在我眼里,他们那个小小的角落被一种令人忧郁的空虚浸透了。
