双井日出

从夏日的清晨醒来，由卧室走进落地窗环绕的阳台，打开通风窗迎入早间的清凉，以及那被叫做“市井”的喧嚣。且慢，如果可以将城市比作一口井，那么我们这个地段儿却缘何被冠以“双井”之名，又似乎从未有人像对王府井那样举起放大镜煞有介事地考究一番这名称的今生前世并打上两眼井言之凿凿地痛诉当年何如。没有，是不值抑或不屑？

从双井好似从双筒望远镜一样向东张望，正是太阳那苍天独眼打秃秃的天空猛然腾起出现在眼前的时刻。城市里的日出绝不象北戴河鸽子窝那般云蒸霞蔚，也不像禾木村的光影婆娑，更甭提托斯卡尼小镇的悠长宁静了。它只管自顾自地从什么后面突兀出来，毫无征兆也无需想象，不新奇也不浪漫，因为城市本来就是不新奇也不浪漫的所在。于是，你只好将自己新奇的想象流放出城门，以法拉利的极速沿着四通八达的高速飞向旷野村落飞向群山沧海，或者干脆把新奇的想象塞给那何其珍贵的十来天有钱又有闲的年假吧，免得让天天都见又天天不必见的无谓日出耽搁了上班脚步的匆匆。

潘多拉的盒子被她的纤手偷偷打开后飞出了疾病恶习还有痛苦，人们发现后慌忙盖上却把唯一有益于人类的希望扣在盒底，然而，人是不能没有希望地活着的，因为没有希望就没有未来。所以这份重任只有留给每天都出来溜达一遭的日出完成。就早上，趁他们刚醒，让希望顺着阳光直入他们的双眼植入大脑。而太阳总是不辱使命亦不负众望，虽然此刻从东窗看出去所见的面孔都是暗的，但回头望远，那些脸庞尽数光亮。
