扫 街 叟


                   哗 、哗  、哗——
                   划破寒夜的寂泠
                   擦亮街面的油污

                   贼星  被扫帚扫出天际
                   寒流  被扫把赶出了身心
                   他直了直腰     擦了把汗
                   又埋头    哗、哗、哗——

                   挥抡着扫帚    就像当年
                       挥着掠子割麦一样
                   老套的动作    铜板的面孔

                   年复一年    披星戴月
                   他在这条街上扫了三年
                   这条街的树都熟悉他
                       暑天   情不自禁地为他送爽

                   一辆破自行车    一把扫帚
                   他的忠实的伙计    
                       比他的儿女都亲

                   哗、哗、哗——
                   太阳露出半个脸
                   他在疾鸣的铃声与赶着
                                            上班的车流中
                   笑呵呵地躲着   扫除
