YOU SAID:

After the smiles. After the handshakes. After the arms around shoulders and the merry, hollow laughter. After the conditional promise and the purchased friendship. After the elusive, dangling reward, the nagging threat. After all that - the calculation of the odds, the sifting of the probabilities - and then, the fear. Fear in the smell of damp newsprint and the crackle of the radio. Fear that this might be the day that we wake to find the magic gone.

笑顔の後。握手の後。肩の周りの腕と陽気な空っぽの笑い声の後。条件付き約束と購入した友情の後。とらえどころのないぶら下がり報酬、しつこい脅威の後。結局のところ-オッズの計算、確率のふるい分け-そして、恐怖。湿ったにおいの恐怖
