Reached for: Race Tracks
“I'm holding out for the free ride and the big win, and I keep company with others who are too.”
It runs as a chase after the easy score, a compulsive angling for the free ride, the big win and the Easy Street outcome, with a pull toward the company and ambience of others cut from the same cloth. The scheme feels like shrewdness; underneath it is a set of near-antisocial values absorbed from a demoralising, selfish family that modelled the shortcut over the honest cost. What it asks for is one thing built rather than won.
Autolycus, the light-fingered rogue and snapper-up of unconsidered trifles, forever working the angle for an easy purse and the company of fellow chancers. The form implies a task: to earn one thing honestly and find it holds.
