又是一个如同以往的忙碌星期一,一大早就是连续3个小时的Strategic Management,接下来是2个小时的Project Management for Civil Engineering,再是小组讨论,学习,晚饭就吃了一个面包和一杯茶,一直到10:46我才离开图书馆这个好地方去赶最后一班公车~
渥太华的冬天虽然没到,不过夜里的风吹的已经够刺骨了,透过图书馆的玻璃门,可以看到路灯下的落叶被风卷起在空中,然后再甩向不同的方向,再慢慢地飘落,再重新被卷起……
一心只想赶上公车的我没空留意这些,只是急匆匆地一路走到车站,一看时间,还有7分钟~
"yo,what's up Mark"
我听到在我旁边有人和我打招呼,转过头一看,是Sharka,他正双手叉在衣服里,抬着头对我笑呢。
.............................
Sharka是个黑人,来自非洲的某个国家,我不知道他的全名,不知道他来自的城市,甚至也不知道他究竟来自哪个国家,我只知道,他是个黑人,在那个时侯……
我是在打工的地方认识这个叫Sharka的,因为他是我一个Shift的黑人的朋友。要说最初的感觉,那就是觉得他们这几个黑人朋友只要混在一起就什么事情都不做了,打打闹闹,放声大笑,而且还老是打那些没卖完的蛋糕和面包的主意。所以为了面子上的社交,我一般只和他们勾手打招呼,每次他们要找我去玩,我都会宛然拒绝。而其中这个Sharka是他们中间最无法无天的一个,不仅仅是他长的就象个罪犯,那种气焰更是让你觉得他很有一种侵犯性。而他也是我最看的不爽的一个了。
..............................
在快11点的夜里,面对着一个穿黑风衣的的黑人,就好象对着一个隐身人一样。在远处路灯普照过来的余光下,我至少能通过他那口白色的牙来确定目标的方位。
我拿下带在头上的耳机,说:"Not much man, been waitin for the bus"
大概是因为快半夜了的原因,Sharka好象没那么有“活力”了,他只是慢慢地问我毕业后是不是会回中国还是打算留在加拿大。我告诉他我也不确定,可能还是想试着在这里找找工作看吧,于是我也问他,“那你打算回去吗?”
于是他笑了...
我很奇怪地看着他,心想,他脑子里的筋又搭牢了大概。
他终于停止笑了,看着我,停顿了一小活说:“伙计,我是索马里来的”
我说:“哦,那好啊,那么你究竟是打算回去呢还是怎样?”
他还是看着我,脸上连表情都没了,问道:“你知道索马里吗?”
我说:“当然,我在电影里看过的,那个Black Hawk Down,讲的就是在索马里的事情吧”
他望着我,轻轻地一笑,而正在这个时候我的4路车来了,于是我自然就和他再见了。正当我刚要上车的时候,他就好象事先准备好了一样,从他那件黑色大风衣的口袋里摸出一张CD,和我说:“回去试试”,我接过CD,看也没看就上车了。
上车后找个靠窗的空位子坐下来,把书包放在一旁,开始看那张CD。
这是一张自制的CD盘,CD的盒子上都是划痕,看上去满旧的。CD上面用黑色的水笔写着"Beyond This Life"。心想,哦,没什么特别啊,大概是某些所谓的黑人“街头诗人”的RAP专集吧,我能想到的不是2PAC就BIGGIE,要么是NAS?还能是谁,自从美国的HIPHOP文化蔓延开后,这些谈论人生哲理的人都个个赚了大钱,讲来讲去都是那些有商业开发价值的东西,哎,没什么的~
于是我把这张CD塞进了书包里....

A couple of days after that night, I still hadn't got a chance to listen to that CD until he came to my working place on thursday. I was doing my cash there for the endless customers' line, and especially in the evening at around 7 o'clock, cuz all students will be off their classes and take a break to buy themselves something to eat.
Anyway, Sharka came to me and said, "yo Mark, where is my CD, is it with you?"
I was like,"no man, I don't have it with me today, you want it back?"
He went like, "yeh, I need it, bring it to school tomorrow, I'll call you"
I responsed:"aight aight, no worries"
He continued,"so how did you find it?"
"....." I was like, " yeh, yeh, that shit's hot man, I like it" I didn't know what else to say.
Again, he looked at me without showing any emotion on his face and said, "aight, just bring it back to me tomorrow cuz I need it."
"yeh, that's for sure."I promised him
Then he left, and I gotta get my ass back to work again.
Got off from the work, I was pretty tired actually, but still, I needed to stay in the library to read some chapters, cuz all mid-terms are just about to come! And then,the same shit, I went to catch the last bus at around 10:46, and I did, so I got back home at around 11:15. I recalled that Sharka wanted his CD back, so I put it into my school bag just in case that I will forget to do so in the next morning. At the second thought, well, maybe I should at least listen one or two tracks of the CD. I walked to open my school bag again, and took out the CD from inside. Yeh, I think I'm gonna try this tonight then. I took out the CD disc from its container, and turned on my CD Player, inserted it, pressed "PLAY".... .....

后来我把这张CD还给了Sharka,我们聊了很多,也改变了一些我对他原先的看法。最后我问他:“那你毕业后,究竟打算去哪里呢?”
