第37期:Elenita,牌,手掌,水

Elenita, cards, plam, water

She makes the sign of the cross over the water three times and then begins to cut the cards.

They're not like ordinary playing cards, these cards. They're strange, with blond men on horses and crazy baseball bats with thorns. Golden goblets, sad-looking women dressed in old-fashioned dresses, and roses that cry.

There is a good Bugs Bunny cartoon on T.V. I know, I saw it before and recognize the music and wish I could go sit on the plastic couch with Ernie and the baby, but now my fortune begins. My whole life on that kitchen table : past, present, future. Then she takes my hand and looks into my plam. Closes it. Closes her eyes too.

Do you feel it, feel it cold?

Yes , I lie, but only a little.

Elenita,牌,手掌,水 

她用手在水面上画了三次十字,开始抽牌。

这可不是平常玩的牌。这些牌,它们有点奇怪,上面有骑在马上的金发白肤的男人,吓人滴长了刺的棒球棒、金色圣杯、穿着旧式服装的悲伤的女人,还有哭泣玫瑰。

我知道电视上在演一部好玩的《兔八哥》卡通片。我以前看过,听出了它的音乐,我希望可以走过去和埃尼、包包一起坐在塑料沙发上,可我的命运开始显现了。我的一生都在这厨桌子上:过去、现在和将来。接着她拿起我的手看手掌。合上它。同时合上的还有她的眼睛。

你感觉到了吗?感觉到冷了吗?

是的,我撒谎说,有一点冷。
