瞬间

晚上七点钟,在房间里正与msn上的聊友敲字,外面的电视声音传进来,伴着一些不合拍得呼呼声,难道老爸睡着了吗。他不会那么早就睡觉了吧。冲出房间一看,果然他仰在沙发上,张着嘴在大声呼吸,睡至酣处的形态。

爸爸老了,从去年到今年之间,他的变化比较明显,比同龄的七十岁出头的老人要更老一些。除了头发继续少下去以外,他的肚子鼓了很多。这次见到他,我就告诉他腰肥了一圈,是不是成天呆在家里不动。夏天他会好一些,经常到外面,冬天最冷的一两个月出门少了很多。待在电视前面,坐着坐着就睡着了。

人的一生也像是一个圆圈,很多习惯突出在始与终。人慢慢老去的时候,睡眠逐渐开始侵占那些本应该醒着的时间,最终成为一种恒定的状态。而婴儿期则是相反。

这次回来的几天,我只顾忙着自己的事,很少跟他聊天,有时候我会不耐烦,认为自己的事情他帮不了我,他的价值观和处世之道和我的完全不同,甚至有相反的认识。然而他最需要的就是交谈,保持大脑的活跃。

前天订了票去南方的,他没说什么。去南方太奔波了,想着我就不踏实,然后就退了票干脆去北京玩吧。他说,我看你还是去北京比较好。他见到我总是担心这担心那,一旦我不在身边,好像那些担心就都变成了好的想象。

想到将来会后悔的,后悔没有多陪爸爸说话。想到这个,我赶紧到他旁边坐下了。

George Gershwin: summertime (posted by tbn; just listened to this song, thought you might like the lyrics)

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Oh, Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But until that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mammy standing by

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

I know. But you should come down to try a few times and you will like it.

Nevertheless, the lyrics are fitting, right? I can imagining that you sing to your kids: daddy is rich and momma is good looking, don't you cry, baby.

Sorry, I went too far.

The lyric is bothering me though.Because rich is hard to reach, good looking is about to lose.....:(
