诗歌《有的纸》

有的纸

Some Paper

有的纸记载着往圣绝学¹，
本该引得洛阳纸贵，
却落得后继无人。
有的纸先是印满了问题，
然后填满了答案，
最终换来一个得分。
有的纸签上大名、盖上钢印，
像一张人生巅峰的通关文牒，
更像是华而不实的证明。
有的纸有最牢固的防伪技术，
让多少人丧尽天良？
又让多少人依旧趋之若鹜？

有的纸是素描，因为划上了石墨；
有的纸是乐章，因为记下了音高；
还有的纸，不过是不起眼的诗作。

有的纸来自同一片森林，
长着相同圈数的年轮，
拥抱过同一阵晚风，
摊上了不同的地球人。

Some paper preserves the greatest minds’ wisdom,
Which should’ve been overwhelmingly popular,
Instead of being abandoned and ignored.
Some paper is fully printed with questions,
Then filled with answers,
And finally, it turns into a score.
Some paper gets a signature and a steel seal,
As if it’s a passport to a triumphant life,
But rather proves that one is merely flashy.
Some paper carries the most robust anti-forgery tech,
Tempting how many people to lose their conscience,
And how many people to go on scrambling for it?

With graphite, some paper becomes a pencil sketch.
With pitch, some paper becomes a movement.
Also, some paper becomes an ordinary poem.

Some paper comes from the same forest,
Has the same number of annual rings,
And embraces the same night breeze,
While ends up in the hands of different humans.

🌼 余香：书籍、考卷、文凭、钞票……纸，早已被悄无声息地划分出三六九等，但纸的价值或许因人而异。哪张纸对自己最重要？画册，乐谱，诗篇，或是其它？当停止亦步亦趋，当抵达内心最深处，人生的意义才慢慢浮现纸上。
