好久沒聽音樂了，朋友傳來一首曲子："歌詞快哭了"... 終於到了這首，曲終人散，小丑進場...
今晚聽聽 Judy Collins：Send in the Clowns (1975)
...
多年來，不知道是故意忘記，還是不敢想起，這首從前每聽必哭的曲子，今晚也不例外...
儘管此時彼時人事全非，儘管這裡那裡物換星移，不變的是，舞會結束，最後留下的就是小丑，面對空蕩的舞池，獨自收拾殘局，頂多給自己一杯瑪格麗特萊姆，半片檸檬加三顆冰塊...
窗外的悶熱降溫了，對街的吵雜安靜了，遠處有火車慢慢駛來... 又慢慢離開...
...
好棒的隱喻，小丑進場...
小丑進場讓所有悲劇都以喜劇收場，又讓所有喜劇以悲劇結束，悲喜之間亦真亦假，年華老去如夢似幻，只剩一顆追逐愛與被愛的心...
就這樣，曲終人散，小丑進場，自己把自己打包起來...
