正常/Normal

(See English version below)

他帶上門，一切雲淡風輕，
只想有個「正常」的家庭，他說。

電視畫面裡的記者
正如演似唱地
論斷著「正常人」近乎成癮、渴望看到的
異常案例。

三年過去了，時間依然駐足原地，
一樣的消息，依舊狗屁倒灶的事情，
唯一質變的：
是我大腦基底核的反應。
我儘管不願用狹隘的視野
專斷地框架無垠寬廣的宇宙，
無奈意識層不斷發出提醒：
無框架的世界只存在於我的心智，
以及
或許極少數異常人的大腦裡。

為了避免人格分裂，
我踏上理性思辨之旅，
嘗試定義「正常人」眼中的異常，
以及異常人眼中的「正常」。

出乎意料地，
兩者竟出現了交集：
愛，絕對是必要項；
財務自主，是幸福的前提；
家人的支持是最大的助力，
但也可能成為最大的阻力；
生命的延續，
需要神的祝福作為前提；
而走到盡頭的那一刻，
是尊嚴與無愧於心、而不是金錢
讓你從容以對。

She closed the door; everything piece of memory turned into ashes.
Just wanna have a ‘’normal'' family, says she.
Reporters on the TV screen
Are acting out abnormal cases, which ''normal people'' are obsessed and addicted to view.

Three years Has passed, while Time dwells on the exact same spot.
Same old, same old.
Still we only see the the society full of BS.
My basal ganglia seems to be the only change.
Reluctant as I am to frame the infinite cosmos,
Cognition keeps sending minor neurons to remind me,
That frameless world exists only on my mind,
As well as in the brains of few wierdos.

To prevent myself going schizophrenic,
I embarked on a journey of reasoning,
Trying to define the ‘abnormality' in the eyes of ''normal people,''
And the Social Norm deemed by the quirky.

Suddenly it dawned on me, the two ideas actually have so much in common:
Love is an absolute must-have;
Financial independency is prerequisite;
Family may sometimes be strongest support, yet other times be invincible hindrance;
Mercy from God is required for life to keep going;
And it's dignity, clear conscience rather than money,
That keeps you clam and elegant when the last moment comes.
