Have you got it in you?

Of course, the answer is no. The way your body trembles and your forehead sweats as you contemplate questions backstage. It's like being stuck in a taut straight jacket. Your tea is cold and you'd rather just enjoy the summer air.

I expected many answers from you, and I believe that you could have answered them. You tried to tell me later, giving me an answer (what you thought I expected), and I realized you didn't get all the way. Half-assed, you could have spent the entire night drinking coffee staring at a computer screen and contemplating the tendinitis in your hands and maybe then you would understand.

I'm very glad for you only because I envy you. It would be very pleasant to float down the river, pretending that you have control over every undercurrent and school of fish.
