 艺术家的原罪 THE ORIGINAL SIN OF ARTISTS
艺术家的原罪
/非马
我突发奇想
上帝不是天生的独身主义者
还有
宇宙混沌
当初也许不只他老人家一双手
才能在短短的七天之内
（还好整以暇地休息了一整天）
创造出那么多奇迹来
那时候肯定还没有数目字
也找不到那么多的天才可凑数
（「十大上帝」叫起来也滑稽兮兮）
所以不太可能搞集体创作
唯一的可能是找个得力的帮手
而有什么比一个异性的上帝更名正言顺
更能配合得天衣无缝？
就在万事底定
收拾起工具休息了长长的一天之后
他们之中有一个闲极无聊
（我猜多半是那个自以为「较好的一半」）
终于提出了
一个撼宙震宇的要命问题：
谁是更好的艺术家？
对于这整个案件我还有一点不明白──
当初究竟是谁出的主意
在黑夜的天空上
开了那么多
大大小小的窗？
附注：艺术家群聚的纽约格林威治村，有一个叫卡尔□安德鲁的雕塑家，最近被控
把他也是艺术家的妻子从三十四层楼的公寓窗户抛出致死。据说是夫妻俩为了争谁
是较好的艺术家而引起的悲剧。
THE ORIGINAL SIN OF ARTISTS
by William Marr
it suddenly occurred to me
that God might not be
a celibate
in the chaotic beginning
it might have taken
more than one pair of hands
to create in a mere six days
such a world of wonder
is it possible that there’s a helper?
a Goddess would seem most natural
after they finished the work of creation
and rested for the long, long seventh day
a restless voice from heaven’s high window
raised the fateful question:
WHO’S THE BETTER ARTIST?
Note: A Greenwich Village artist was charged with murder of throwing his wife, also an artist, from the window of their 34th-floor apartment. The tragedy was said to be caused by an argument about who was the better artist.
