儿时                                                                      高粮 包谷  红薯 甚至榆树皮和麻苕         
是舌尖的记忆                                                       大米是记忆外食物                                                偶尔   母亲那老茧满满的双手                              从父亲挑回的潲水中                                           捞出零星的几片肥肉                                       
 （那是单位人吃剩下的）                                  读不懂母亲的表情                                               只听她说    这肉有营养                                       吃了会走稳步     不绊倒                                      
                                                                              上学时                                                                  母亲把四五斤大米和两瓶没油的榨菜               塞进我背兜    表情凝重                                       说    这是你一周的口粮和菜                                背着它   一定要学会奔跑                                    于是    我背着沉重                                               拼了命的奔跑                                                        奔跑在通往人生的路上……                                 
                            .                                                  如今                                                                      母亲的表情悬挂在西边的天际                            我无力读懂                                                           我老成当年的母亲                                                    儿子长成当年的我                                                大米早   泛滥成灾                                                粗粮是幻想中的食物                                        ...我只能拿出《朱之家格言》  《弟子规》  《三字经》……                                                              表情庒重严肃地说      儿子                                 它们与走路   健康和奔跑有关……
