The Origin of Love
這一段路很漫長,我明瞭。其實自始至終都不用刻意偽裝,毋需在表我與真我之間設防,但該怎麼輕易作到?想那些輾轉難眠的夜,眼前大片黑暗襲來,吞噬了以為就此脫落的昨天/前天/從前從前,最後王子公主總能過著幸福快樂的日子,可你這輩子永遠都不會是童話裡的王子。醒來你還是同個樣子。同個融匯父母遺傳因子的孩子。
而誰不是這樣。受大人給的期待,渴望或大或小的夢,貪婪、易感、需要愛。他說愛是一種貫穿心臟的苦痛,她說愛有不曾能夠停止的毀滅。無論他說,她說,他們說,都從未以性向本質劃分對錯。「就算全世界與我為敵,我還是要愛你。」應是孤獨動物通用的煽情。
村上春樹在〈海邊的卡夫卡〉中寫道,阿里斯托芬妮於柏拉圖的〈饗宴〉裡的說話是被這麼紀錄著的:
古老的神話世界裡有三種人,分別由男男、男女、和女女所組成。以現在兩個人份的素材作成一個人的,因此每個人都很滿足,平安無事地過著日子。可是有一天神用刀子把全體的人割成兩半。乾乾淨淨地分成兩個人。結果,世界上就變成只有男人和女人,每個人都在尋找另外該有的剩下那半身,在東奔西走中度過人生。
從此人們便開始不斷尋找失落的另一半。
前陣子才看完 John Cameron Mitchell 自編自導自演的〈搖滾芭比〉,電影裡亦敘述了這段故事,並譜成歌曲。對愛的無奈與悲傷都沿著主人翁 Hedwig- 的演唱流洩透徹,過往心中曾揪著的結似乎也隨之鬆開,雙手卻握得更緊了。
You Complete Me.
假若小丑的生命不再需要愛,卻因蝙蝠俠的存在而完整。反觀我們對愛的需要皆根源自初始三種人類的其中之一,又何有與眾不同呢。

Lyrics:
When the earth was still flat, and the clouds made of fire
And mountains stretched up to the sky, sometimes higher
Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs
They had two sets of arms, two sets of legs
They had two faces peering out of one giant head
And they could watch all around them
And they talked while they read
And they never knew nothing of love
It was before the origin of love
Origin of love
And there were three sexes then
One that looked like two men glued back to back
Called the children of the sun
And similar in shape and girth were the children of the earth
They looked like two girls rolled up in one
And the children of the moon were like a fork shoved on a spoon
They were part sun, part earth, part daughter, part son
Origin of love
Now the gods grew quite scared of our strength and defiance
And Thor said:
"I'm gonna kill them all with my hammer
Like I killed the giants."
And Zeus said:
"No, you better let me use my lightning, like scissors
Like I cut the legs off whales
And dinosaurs into lizards."
Then he grabbed up some bolts
And he let out a laugh, said:
"I'll split them right down to the middle
Gonna rip them right in half."
And then storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire
And the fire shot down
From the sky in bolts
Like shining blades of a knife
And it ripped right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun
And the moon, and the earth
And some Indian god
Sewed the wound up into a hole
Pulled it 'round to our belly
To remind us of the price we pay
And Osiris and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurricane
To scatter us away
In a flood of wind and rain
And a sea of tidal waves
To wash us all away
And if we dont behave
They'll cut us down again
And well be hopping round on one foot
Looking through one eye
Last time I saw you
We had just split in two
You were looking at me, and I was looking at you
You had a way so familiar
But I could not recognize
'Cause you had blood on your face
And I had blood in my eyes
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the pain down in mine
That's the pain
Cuts a straight line down through the heart
We call it love
So we wrapped our arms around each other
Trying to shove ourselves back together
We were making love
It was a cold dark evening such a long time ago
When by the mighty hand of Jove
It was the sad story
How we became lonely two-legged creatures
It's the story of
The origin of love
That's the origin of love, origin of love, origin of love
