mic stand

半年前在Khalil的Blog讀了他寫的一篇poem，於是立時寫了一篇短詩（第二、三段）回應。

Mic Stand

if mic had memory he'd be sentimental
if mic had memory his sadness would be our tears
if mic had memory he'd tire of our anger
if mic had memory he'd know of our hearts longings
if mic had memory he'd say we all need breath mints
if mic had memory he'd wish to choose his partner
if mic had memory he'd hope that we sang better
if mic had memory he'd wish he were the stand

If I were the mic,
I'd wish the good singer to stand
Closer, let me feel the throbbing pulse
that tells the story of human beings, with
love and anger and envy and broken hearts.

May your fingers
Linger, with all emotions overwhelming, which
Ignite my senses, make me feel
Alive, and I would no longer be alone
Amidst the coldness of the recording room.
