What the Pig Mama Says

梁世聰先生得獎作品

The pupoh stopped to cheer. Leklek
was took away. He was mine biggest boy.
A good heart. Saved the best for Yenyen
and Hokhok. His-self eating leftovers.
I cried I cried. Not knew the bastang
took him where. Gokgou told me was hell.
We ate much as we liked. The white fence
put us safe safe. Always we talked, cheered.
The pupoh liked to play with Hokhok.
Mine little boy talked to them sweet.
He knew how make make community.
But Hokhok too was took away by same
same bastang they took Leklek before.
Mine only girl Yenyen too sad to see
her little brother went. She kept quiet
everydays think think. I begged the bastang
not took mine boy. They not understood.
Heard only something like "pok is good".
The pupoh talked little little. Yenyen
stopped to eat. She said, "No, Hokhok play
wis me!" I sorry sorry for her. The bastang
came to take Yenyen. I saw her away.
I not cried. Maybe it better for Yenyen.
She will stop to think. No more think.
No more think think. Maybe I say
too much. Who is listening to my story?

戀戀大藍湖之Let's take it seriously

酷熱天氣警告之下，和小西幹了一項自殺式行為，上山找大藍湖。那是西貢，時間是下午二時，路程至少二十分鐘，當然是戶外，而且是上山。
聽說那時是三十五度，但我相信在西貢戶外起碼再多兩度。一路上靜得聽得出自己吞口水的聲音。途中遇上一個像天神村裡吃燒餅的阿婆，她說大藍湖還要多走十五分鐘才成。身無分文，生怕最終要電召飛行服務隊來救援，還是躲進樹影下小休。
樹影下我們談了朋友間的事，在烈日當空之下談生死、談戀愛、談前度，有點超現實，但都付笑談中。
後來，小西發揮終極求生本能，兩人坐了一次霸王車回她的家。踏上冷氣小巴那刻，像從地獄踏上了天堂。
究竟為什麼要冒死找大藍湖？因為我說過要take it seriously.
關於生活，已經無路可退，關於寫作，終於要認真對待，認真的幹，這個statement, 莊嚴得像說我願意。
