最近坛里好像在搞忆苦思甜活动,冰花姐与爪四哥的经历催人泪下,但俺试了一会儿又哭不出来,因为他们及他们的穷困客户跟俺下面这个美国街上流浪的陶陶猫比,也太不小強了。
第一他们没睡过潮湿的大街;第二他们没被城管追而四处逃窜;第三每天晚上还能回温馨的家里与老伴相拥睡足觉;最关键的是他们还年青健美,就是倒下了还能很快爬起来,迅速的按住钱包或拔打911。
可动物世界(至少T.J. Eliot,诗人爱略特笔下)就没有这么幸运,有只陶陶猫,不,应该叫她大名,拉丁猫(爱略特叫她Grizabella, 有点拉丁妹的韵味),老爱(Eliot) 或许以前被某老王穿过绿衣,他说这拉丁猫就因为早期背叛了“初见”,而后交过许多性伴侣生活作风大大的有问题,在年老成拉丁猫大妈回老家时而被其它家猫们(Jellicel) 看不起和拒绝。
但,
但是,
但是呢,
老爱又创作一只天使般的猫,并用了自家养的猫名 -- Jellylorum,因俺只知道怎么念单词JellyBean , 这里就叫她冰花猫好了。冰花猫是一只很有大爱又热心传播平等性的猫,是她首先接受, 触摸了拉丁猫大妈,给她一丝猫间的特殊温暖和安慰。
所以,重新振作起来的拉丁猫大 妈并没被bullying 歧视打倒,也没屈服于那个黑高个儿的四大爪猫城管,她就是没啥吃的也不拿街道小店给的免费午餐,当然她也有野猫男朋友,这拉丁猫大 妈是什么猫呢,流浪猫?
猫界虽然很神秘,据《桃桃三》小报报道,猫儿们很会保护自己,也很有悟性,同性恋在猫语里是找不到的。所以要想得爱滋病在猫界是不可能的。
那猫会忠诚于他的初见(夜)吗? 很难!爱略特家的那只也许。
回到座席。最后在黑夜里,拉丁猫大妈勇敢而吃力地走在街上,疲惫不堪,带着勉強的微笑回忆(Memory) 着过去曾经的美丽和快乐;她拄着拐杖站着,带着笑容看着黎明慢慢到来,她希望新一天的阳光能至少带给她一天的幸福。她独自笑着,走进了彩虹,令人难以置信的悲伤和美丽!

Memory
MEMORY LYRICS
[Verse 1: Elaine Paige]
Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
[Verse 2: Elaine Paige]
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
[Bridge 1: Elaine Paige]
Every streetlamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the streetlamp gutters
And soon
It will be morning
[Verse 3: Elaine Paige]
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
[Bridge 2: Elaine Paige]
Burnt-out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
[Verse 4: Elaine Paige]
Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun.
