88年前の孤独

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

おおむね晴れ。30度。

7時に起きる。

朝餉は、千切りキャベツを添えた目玉焼き、味噌汁(シメジ・小松菜・人参・玉葱・油揚げ・豆腐)、ピザトースト、ザクロ酢ジュース。食後にコーヒー。

妻はバイクを漕いで隣街へ。友人宅で開かれるお茶会に。夕方に戻る。

ジョギング、5.5キロメートル。しばらくぶりの道。新築がちらほら。

 

The Ink Spotsの1940年の歌。「We Three (My Echo, My Shadow and Me)」より――

 

We three, we're all alone

Living in a memory

My echo, my shadow and me

 

We three, we're not a crowd

We're not even company

My echo, my shadow and me

 

What good is the moonlight

The silvery moonlight

That shines above?

 

I walk with my shadow

I talk with my echo

But where is the one I love?

 

We three, we'll wait for you

Even till eternity

My echo, my shadow and me

 

We three, we're all alone

Seem like we living in a memory

That's my echo, my shadow and me

 

We three, we ain't no crowd

Fact is we ain't even company

That's my echo, my shadow and me

 

You know, I've been wonderin'

What good is the moonlight

That silvery moonlight

That shines way, way up above?

 

Yeah, I walk with my shadow

I talk with my echo

But where is that gal that I love?

 

We three, we'll wait for you

Even till eternity

My echo, my shadow and me

 

夕餉は、カボチャ・ナス・トマトの南蛮漬け、カマスのムニエル、味噌汁(ナス・小松菜・油揚げ・豆腐・人参)、玄米ご飯。
