戴耳机的男孩儿
品味
就在这时,时间到了,秘书小姐将稿子都
收起来,进了主任室.1分钟,2分钟,3分钟
……
我心中像十五只吊桶打水七上八下,忐忑
不安,按照常理,我肯定没戏了.正在胡思乱想
之时,女秘书出来对我说:"主任请你进来面
谈."
主任对我微微一笑,说:"你被录用了!不
好意思,这次笔试是我让打字员跟大家开了个
小玩笑,故意把一些与文稿内容不相关的文字
打印在了稿纸的背面."我心头的一块石头终
于落地了.?

他穿着松垮的裤子和肥大的衬衫
带着耳机一路哼唱着百老汇的歌.
时不时地他回头看我一眼,
隔着穿行的车流,一个中年的父亲在向他
招手.
他是一个十五岁的城市男孩——不大,也
不小——
但我想象他是一只五颜六色的无名小鸟 百转千回的歌声一会儿像麻雀一会儿像 知更鸟
歌声划过,可以让每个角落的商贩听到 我一直认为他是一只野生的雏鸟 在飞过树顶的高空中
警惕地翘起一只翅膀
回头凝望我.?
