那期南方周末我每篇都看了，唯独没看这篇，这题目太倒胃口了，这位老兄几岁了？还处在青春期，为什么不说还在吃奶呢？

自立好啊。 那天没能和你和田先生等谈谈诗歌，甚是遗憾，后来飞机上翻看你的诗集，序倒是说得十分中肯，算是个补偿吧。

no 夏榆 isn't fuge, he looks different. I bought the latest issue of Nanfang Weekend yesterday (夏榆's photo was there) and read it in the train, frankly speaking I am impressed with the writing quality of most reporters. It's said 夏榆 is the most experienced among them. Fuge is Xia Kong I think.

"Death is very likely the single best invention of Life" well, who invented it? :) I would say that death is the best revealation of life, without facing death closing, there are so much we don't know, about ourselves, about the world. A very fine speech, is it recent? Steve Jobs isn't just a tech nerd or a business guy like Gates, he has passions too. :)

Fascinating story ... I didn't know Byron had such an outstanding daughter, who's more useful to the society and the posterity than the father perhaps. :) Ada was born exactly 15 years earlier than Emily Dickinson BTW.

八兄如何算得的？ ：）

not long ago PBS aired a program about Ramesses. one thing I have to make clear:　can his mummy still be seen today? I think in the program the mummy was shown (an ugly, weird scene, I had to close my eyes) many times. Ah-san, please find this out for me when you visit Egypt. :)

Complexity. 我有一本，两年前读过。十多年前的书了，作者Waldrop。内容不光涉及生命科学，还有物理学，经济学等等，作者的角度很高，讲的是综合学科或者叫边缘科学的东西，因而比较泛泛，大而略，不过很多说法还是很有意思的，比较启发思路。它大概就是说生命体以及很多自然和社会现象如何从简单演变到复杂，而这复杂又是如何有order out of the chaos等等。很多问题当然是无法回答的，而且十多年来科学发现日新月异，现在看来书里很多推想也过时了。 “最早的有机分子，由少数粘合成“大分子”，一步步继续粘合，长成更“大”的生物，经过多少

唉，真不知老共还会有怎样的黔驴之计？：） 这小胡实在是一桶浆糊。

这创世纪似乎值得一读？老七，上海有卖帮我捞一本留着。：）

嗯，歇一忽儿，借个漏掉的帖子解解闷、、、 天冷了，倍加怀念广州的香肉煲。老朽大概吃多了点，刚来美国时干的第一份活儿是早上送报，人家门前的狗们对我很不友好，后来才想起它们定是嗅出了什么。我后来见到狗们就惭愧地绕着走、、、 想起一个故事。曾有一狗天生无骨，肉入煲后异常地鲜嫩肥美，凡食客啖后无不口齿留香，争相赞美。有食客叹曰：真古今第一香狗也，岂非因其无骨也哉？

做一次雷锋，把十支水莲贴过来 - 十支水莲 王小妮 1 、不平靜的日子 　猜不出它為什麼對水發笑。 　站在液體裏睡覺的水蓮。 　跑出夢境窺視人間的水蓮。 　興奮把玻璃瓶漲得發紫的水蓮。 　是誰的幸運 　這十枝花沒被帶去醫學院 　內科病房空空蕩蕩。 　沒理由跟過來的水蓮 　只為我一個人 　發出陳年繡線的暗香。 　什麼該和什麼縫在一起？ 　三月的風們脫去厚皮袍 　剛翻過太行山 　從蒙古射過來的箭就連連落地。 　河邊的冬麥又飄又遠。 　不是個平靜的日子. 　軍隊正從晚報上開拔 　直升機為我裹起

no, should be 故事，not 心事. maybe the way you interpreted this poem is different from what I meant to say. The black butterfly is from earth, and the blue one from sky. A very limited life, the one aimed for survival, surrounded by your most intimate family, is a narrow dark space, like mother's womb, warm, secure, yet without any enlightenment. That's where the black butterfly came from, but not where it's heading to. A personal life should be a flight into vaster space, a growth that overcomes

这俩小捣蛋在我家做了不少坏事，现在还记忆犹新，嘟嘟把小哥哥做的lego飞船拆了，贝贝抓起壁炉里的碎石子满天撒。。。嘿嘿

木匠同志不必自责，笨笨宝宝就是喜欢别人多评多和，好玩又热闹。再说木匠皮匠铁匠豆瓣酱们也不尽是调侃，诗是把话分行来说（王小波就是这样定义现代诗的），诗是弥补现实的缺憾，诗是锤炼坚硬的语言，诗是生活体验的发酵升华 。。。这些都是很严肃的总结，说实在的，老朽听了都有启发。 建议笨笨宝宝把长话短说专栏扩大成一个笨体诗速成班，所有的木匠皮匠铁匠泥瓦匠们都学着写诗，笨笨指点一二，老朽也会凑兴两首的，毕竟不花时间，不费脑子，而且好玩（还有什么比好玩更好玩的呢？嘿嘿）这个诗班子将是全民写诗的一个起点，也让咖啡生意兴隆，何�

今天转的两篇南方周末不错。 这位冯先生居海外吧？

posting all women poems today, is xw's Benbenization so thorough?

ha ha ha ... I felt same way. Indian movie is bascially trash. Italian movie is the best, just saw a really good one Breads & Tulips.

这是写给玛雅的吧？她还好吗？ 关切中

I thought I am 9 but my highest score is on 4, oh well, this test can't be accurate. Ah-shan being 7 makes sense too. Enneagram Test Results The Enneagram is a personality system which divides the entire human personality into nine behavioral tendencies, this is your score on each... Type 1 Perfectionism |||||||||||||| 57% Type 2 Helpfulness |||||||||||||||| 61% Type 3 Image Focus |||||| 28% Type 4 Hypersensitivity |||||||||||||||| 65% Type 5 Detachment |||||||||||||| 54% Type 6 A

pretty nice, why not 小赵 write poems then?

not bad. even xw started being benbenized nowadays. hope this Benbenization goes on and on and on and on ...

哪里都是家。我有时头次涉足美国的某个小镇也会有恍若相识的亲切之感，甚至一些感伤。至于武汉这个我似乎该当作故乡的地方，我03年回国，完全变得我认不出来了，陌生之极，毫无感觉。 我想我是没有故乡的。

I like the expression though not necessarily the ideas. like ah-san, waiting for more ...

为力, what's this Grandpa White's English name in full?

谢谢自立的听（观）后感。 我对指挥一窍不通，不过上次看小克莱伯指挥的卡门（DVD)很为他的干净利落折服呢，挥洒自如，神情和姿态都很迷人，印象很深。

安徒生这篇Shadow记得刚认识八塔时讨论过（今年上半年的事吧），我今年初次读，一下就被吸引了，认为是他最成熟的作品（几乎不该是童话）。难怪这位丹麦学者单挑这篇来说。我的感觉它是安徒生对他内心darkness的内省，对不可知的人性有一种莫名的恐惧。总之，这篇不能给小孩读。 http://www.mayacafe.com/forum/topic1.php3?tkey=1107805698 七格大概休息好了，今天可能给你电话，准备好啰。：）

All lyric poetry is about personal feelings, and all feelings should be personal. :) As for me, it's not just lately I start to express personal feelings, I do that all the time, let me give an example - http://www.mayacafe.com/forum/topic1.php3?tkey=1082257471 To Funlover, thanks for your comment, but I think the last two stanzas are what this poem tries to impress - with the repressed psychology that later may be released into a more unsettling and overwhelming feeling. To benben, thanks f

Now I think belief is relevant or meaningful only on personal level - human existence as a mere accident of comic evolution is itself purposeless, looking for meaning in life is really a task for individual only, thus we have all kinds of interpretations and explainations of what meaning is. God is indeed a concept for those who need it. How strong your belief is depends on how well you can make yourself believe.

与死神共舞，这个心态让人仰慕。洒脱之极。
