rational - cautious - warranted - revered or hesitant - avoidant - ascetic - antisocial?
or wanting and reticent? or maybe some other vein altogether?
visited s.f. at the garden house to celebrate. left prematurely - hoping to catch m.r. and his restless pictures. shuffled pleasantries. ate together, and afterwards - 1 last drink. sat aside p.s. and discussed mechanics.
had spent the afternoon sucking teeth (needless / imaginary), only to witness its passing.
called mum on the way back. rode 4 k - walked 5 to prolong. she said it’s 15 below, but blooming indoors.
keys turned shy of 1. reported to anna that all went well. shook her head. laughed. rolled into sleep.
-connection is difficult to classify
-privacy, and its costs, are difficult to appraise
-uncertainty too, can satisfy

還是稀缺與沈默的?亦或有可能是其他的情緒?
在花園洋房與s.f.見面並慶祝,倉促地離開——希望能遇到m.r.和他那些不安的形象。蒙混的寒暄。共食,接著——喝最後一杯。坐在p.s.的一旁討論運作方式。
已經花了一下午吮吸牙齒(不必要的/ 虛構的),只為見證它的逝去。
在回家路上打給媽媽。騎了4公里——為了延長而步行了5公里。她說外頭低於15度,室內卻開花。
按鍵變為略小於1。回報anna一切都很好。她搖了搖頭。笑了。睡著了。
-聯繫難以分類
-隱私及其成本難以評估
-不確定性也可以滿足
將其寫下。
