另一個世界

Each time I see the Upside-Down Man

Standing in the water,

I look at him and start to laugh,

Although I shouldn’t oughtter.

For maybe in another world

Another time

Another town,

Maybe HE is right side up

And I am upside down. 

——by Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic, Reflection

      讀到這首詩時，你想到的是十歲的菲菲在寫作課程「神祕的入口」中創作的故事——〈倒立甜點國〉。生活在那個世界裡的甜點人，不但倒立著走路，連吃飯洗澡玩躲貓貓都倒立著呢。
