"Disco Depression" (迪斯科大萧条)
// BLURB //
You know we’re as good as dead you and me. I knew when I started, although I’m not really sure you did. People don’t make it out alive anyhow, they’re just people. One thing we can count on is that they’ll sure talk us up and pick the hottest actors to portray this love affair thing we’re cooking-up together. Little kids will run around with toy guns and argue over which of them gets to play me or you. They’ll stare at each other with squinted summer faces and compare their facial features to ours. And they’ll never be the same, not even close, because even though we’re kids too we’re a different kind. The kind that know better but have smooth enough skin to convince the world we didn’t.
