First of all... I hear "metaphors" in "matadors". Is it me... or is it you... I think it's both. "And that's no bull." I love the linguistic subtle play, the display as if with a red cape... of the variations on "bull". The "running" matador the's "escaped" "smiling"-- at this point there is a depth of saddness and regret... in this human's experience. Excellent introspective view of action (and all in public view--as such fights are)-- the "bull" being the important, reflective mirror... the focus, even when it's not.
