At midnight in Taipei Ximending, the party supplies shop had closed.
Before a storefront window in the dark, I came across a lamb and a horse.
I couldn't help but wonder, what sights had they seen before? What kind of parties had they attended with the masked people? And where would theygo after such revelries ended?
In human culture, lambs, goats, sheep or even electronic sheep are usually the metaphor of a certain kind of primitive romance.
It seems that we are all constantly moving in the urban jungle, searching for our own piece of grassland.
The adventures I’ve been through that night remained in my mind for years.
Then at one night a few years later, standing in the late spring mist, I returned to that dreamy illusion again.
(it is called a "dreamy illusion" simply because my memory is often set to manual mode and I couldn't distinguish it between illusion and reality):
People with sheep and horse masks had awakened from the carnivals,
stretching limbs and exaggerating facial expressions.
Happiness is a punctuation mark that let everyone be relaxed.
Transient joy and confusion all dock at a shore without wind.
There might be the grassland we are searching for, it stays in the corner of my eyes endlessly,
a nd the city lights always flicker in and out of sight.
"The world are changing too fast, my dear. How fast should I run to catch it clear? "
At the end of the dreamy illusion, I wrote this sentence on the storefront window.
Suddenly, the night turned into a huge convex surface, I see us with masks laughing and dancing there.
