看見學生我就病好了,喜歡他們遇見我裝作要逃避卻不走開,喜歡逢星期三上課的學生纏著我問我今天要不要上課,喜歡他們嚷著不會交功課轉頭又呈上用電腦打好的文章,喜歡他們攔著我問咁0岩0既去邊呀,喜歡他們笑著跟我說再見。
我好喜歡他們啊,不知他們可喜歡我?
今天上學才明白何謂人心惶惶。天氣又熱又濕,可是誰都不敢開冷氣,禮堂裡每聽到咳聲大家便恐慌地掩著鼻看過去,彷彿會看到細菌在空氣中飄浮。教員室裡老師們聚起來討論校長病情:佢好似有d咳呀。/係咩,佢有咳咩?我以為淨係留鼻水喳。/有咳呀!死啦,尋日我同佢單獨傾左十五分鐘呀!/咁你咪二波?傳埋俾d學生就三波啦。/不如福利組買口罩啦。/咁好麻煩0架喎,點講書呀?/噓,小心駛得萬年船。專業人士頓變三姑六婆。我也「湊熱鬧」訂購了口罩,小心駛得萬年船啊。所有課室每天消毒一次,學校都充塞著漂白水的氣味。放學後冷清清的,學生都不准留下來。
肺炎菌,你要何是才收手?
How many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?
今天拿著那份「美伊的數據」上課,天真的中一生問我:點解英國同美國要賣武器俾伊拉克?點解佢地唔囉d錢救人?點解美國要打伊拉克?
我試著以彷平靜的語氣說:我要你們告訴我,這場戰爭到底關於什麼,為了什麼。這場戰爭到底應不應該發生。
因為找不到mp3,我唯有把Blowing in the wind給他們唱一遍。
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
孩子們好像很明白的點點頭,十幾雙眼睛看著我,閃出的,竟不是無知,也不是好奇,而是一份堅定的,不知哪來的耀眼的一點光。
「搣匙,妳喊呀?」
沒有,親愛的我沒有,我只是看到希望所以高興。
