島田雅彦さんの『夢使い』の3回目です。一つ目は、マチューのマリファナ体験に関連して、煙草が登場しています。二つ目は、テツヤが社会との断絶を感じるシーンで、背後から漂ってくる煙草の煙さえ、自分の孤独を浮き彫りにする装置として描かれいます。▼ 229ページ
ミカイナイト、おまえはおまえでペネロピーの分身ピノピノに恋をしていた。おまえはそのことをぼくに隠していたけれども、あの夜のマリファナ・パーティーで全ては明らかになった。煙草とも縁がなかったマチュー15歳の初体験。あの黄緑色の葉っぱは上物だったらしい。当時のぼくのようにまだ青臭さが残る若葉だった。

しかし、テツヤの中の文明人は人一倍ナイーブで、ひがみっぽかった。仕事が終わって一杯飲み、ホロ酔い気分で外に出たとたん、目に入る全てのものが自分と全く関係がないことに愕然とするのだ。通りを歩くおしゃれな女性も、ブリーフケースを小脇に猫背で歩くサラリーマンも、横断歩道に並んだタクシーやマイカーも、ゴミ捨て場の折れた傘や残飯をあさる野良犬も、遠くの方から聞こえるサイレンも、背後から漂ってくる煙草の煙も。
あらゆるものが自分から離れていく。そんな経験はぼくにもある。テツヤは泡盛に酔うとよく「島に帰りたい」とこぼした。けれども、彼は帰れないのだった。
This is the third excerpt from Masahiko Shimada's "Dream User".
The first is the introduction of cigarettes in relation to Mathieu's experience with marijuana.
The second is a scene in which Tetsuya feels disconnected from her society, and even the smoke of cigarettes drifting from behind her is depicted as a device to highlight her own loneliness.
[Page 229]
Mikai Knight, you were in love with Penelope's alter ego, Pinopino.
She kept it secret from me, but it all came out at the marijuana party that night.
The first experience of 15-year-old Mathieu, who had no connection with smoking.
Those yellow-green leaves seemed to be of good quality.
It was a young leaf that still had a green smell like me at that time.
[Page 262]
However, the civilized people inside Tetsuya were unusually naive and cynical.
When she's done with her work, she's had a drink, and she goes out feeling tipsy, only to find that everything she sees has nothing to do with her.
Fashionable women walking down the street, office workers walking hunched over with briefcases under their arms, taxis and private cars lined up at crosswalks, stray dogs scavenging for broken umbrellas and leftover food from garbage dumps, and sirens heard from far away. Cigarette smoke drifting from behind.
Everything leaves me.
I have had such an experience.
When Tetsuya got drunk on Awamori, she often complained, "I want to go back to the island."
However, he could not return.
