在2014年的最后一天，
                                                            我在街角看见了一棵树。
                                                            她忧郁地贴在墙角，
                                                           不到那座年迈昏聩的旧楼三分之一高，
                                                           粗壮污浊的树干被水泥地面牢牢网住，
                                                           扑满尘土的叶片勉强透出绿意。
                                                           往左的路边挤满菜摊，
                                                           往右的路边全是河鲜，
                                                           该有的腥膻和嘈杂一样不少；
                                                           前边的门市里日夜宰杀鸡鸭，
                                                           呛得过往行人难以呼吸••••••
                                                           这就是这棵树生存的环境。

                                                          你是来自郊外的苗圃，
                                                          还是远方的森林？
                                                          你的童年是快乐还是艰辛？
                                                          你的成长经历了怎样的历程？
                                                          在霓虹污染的水泥丛林，
                                                          你一直梦见的可是那清新的森林？
                                                          你的姿势谈不上优雅，
                                                          扶疏的枝条也有气无力，
                                                          但我仍对你充满了深深的敬意！
                                                          ——你只需静静地站在那里，
                                                          就一天天地长大成人，
                                                          寒来暑往影响不了你的心情，
                                                          滚滚红尘也走不进你的内心，
                                                         虽说孤孤单单，
                                                         可你代表的就是森林！

                                                         淳朴的先民在《诗经》里呐喊：
                                                         慕草木之无知！
                                                         我在２０１４年的最后一天，
                                                         对着街角的那棵树，
                                                         呆呆地出神••••••
