那天周末出门，走进地铁，左右都坐满了人，我并不介意没位子，因为只是两个站。我走到门边站着，旁边一位少妇，背靠着扶手拿着本书在看，我心里佩服她能在这样拥挤的空间看书。突然地铁震荡了一下，我身体不平衡，赶紧伸高手捉住她靠着的扶手，因为我个子矮，未免会碰到她的肩膀，正想说声对不起，就听到她的声音说：你懂不懂礼貌，这样勉强插过来。我回过头看她，还是靠着。我不把到了口边的‘对不起’说出来，反而说：不懂礼貌的应该是你，这扶手是给人扶的，不是给人靠的。这时，她马上站离扶手说：至少你也要说声excuse.我说：你还年轻，不知道老人家站不稳。她说：我怎么不知道，我家有80岁的妈妈。我笑说：那你老妈坐地铁，肯定没有遇过像你这样的年轻人。
下了车，我在想：这少妇的表现，是否意谓着，我们的人文教育，有所欠缺甚至失败？

I dreamed a dream
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.
And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather...
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.
And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather...
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.

冥笺
三十三年前，踏上断肠路，把你送到那山头；看着你被放下到那大深坑里，我号啕大哭着也想跳下去。孩子的声音把我拉了回来。可是，一颗心已和你埋在一起。像行尸走肉般被人拉着走，耳边听到有人说：不要回头看。不须回头看，那一幕已永远刻在我脑海里。听到工人铲泥声，每一下就像在我心上割一刀。
此后，每逢清明时节，都想着来看你。移居整千里外后，安排回来看你，成为一年里重要的节目。
断肠路不好走，我的体力一年不如一年，那一年我不能来看你时，我就希望早日能当面责问你：为何违背照顾我一辈子的诺言？
你知道吗？为了对你的承诺，养大我们的孩子，让他们受大学教育；我用尽了我一生的精力和岁月，尝尽了辛酸苦辣。而你却一早就违背对我许下的诺言。我真的很不甘心呀!
