捷運上看到的

關於二月二十的事已經都記不得了。
除了那一些殘存在電腦裡的照片。
放在一個沒有命名的資料夾裡,而實際上,
那些沒有命名的往往吸引我開啟,
影像的記憶和文字的記憶完全不同步,
捷運上我看到了,日記上我寫著......。
不,我的日記一片空白,請讓我再想一想。
或許是:
最近在準備一個報告,應該說,這二天才開始準備一個報告,Sans soleil。
I remember that month of January in Tokyo, or rather I remember the images I filmed of the month of January in Tokyo.They have substituted themselves for my memory. They ARE my memory. I wonder how people remember things who don't film, don't photograph, don't tape. How has mankind managed to remember? I know: it wrote the Bible. The new Bible will be an eternal magnetic tape of a time that will have to reread itself constantly just to know it existed.
