    昨夜停电

          昨天傍晚,一个人在家里烧饭,在毫无征兆的情况下,突然停电了。电灯、电扇、电饭煲同时罢了工。
    大约过了两秒,屋外弄堂里就唧唧喳喳的热闹了起来,各家各户的男男女女们涌出了家门,聚在并不宽敞的弄堂中,议论起此次停电事件了,活象是一大群麻雀落在谷场上啄食一般。终于,我在这议论纷声中厘清了一条思路:今天,后街整个一条马路的电线被烧掉,供电局抢修线路,把我们的电给拉掉了,估计明天还要拉电。。。。。。
          屋内漆黑一片,燥热燥热的;屋外则是灰暗灰暗的,间或几缕凉风袭人。弄堂中嘈杂的分贝渐渐平缓了下来,男人们陆续回了屋子,只留下一些老女人们还在原地唧喳着,“张家长李家短”个不停。弄堂一向是上海老式社区里最重要的一个公共空间,许多官方通知、小道消息抑或流言蜚语都是从这里传播出去的。十年前,空调还未普及,一到傍晚,家家户户都习惯搬出躺椅在弄堂里纳凉避暑。那个时候弄堂还是“独特”的两性空间:男人们总是光着膀子,并排躺在一起,高谈阔论;女人们则穿着睡衣聚在一起讨论着自己的话题。如今,男人们悄然地从这一舞台中退去,弄堂完全成为了女人们表演的舞台。或许,一些女性主义研究者会这样总结:具有性别意识的弄堂作为社区一种公共空间/场域已完成了一场静悄悄的革命。
         “该死的停电!”我臭骂了一句,将电饭煲里烧到一半的饭,换了个锅子,转到煤气灶上。继续烧我的饭。
