Repetition comforts me for a time, then closes in.
The only peace is being out of earshot.
The winner gives up his chance to be a good sport.
Old men feel a slightly reluctant affection for one another.
Victory brings obliviousness; defeat, attentiveness.
Seek and Hide: the Lover gazes at the Beloved. The Beloved looks away. The Beloved turns and looks at the Lover. The Lover runs away.
