when a couple argues real
bad all the way home. then they prepare food while still arguing hurting each others' feelings
like its nothing. during dinner they chew snaringly and fight over ridiculous stuff
like buying 600g of plums instead of 500. then they wash the dishes and tidy up calling each other names ("useless whore", "brainless
brick") and insulting families. then they watch the news while threatening to end their relationship, both of them hardening out of delusions of pride, honour, dignity. neither
one willing to simply change their perspective for a minute to witness the comedy of their scene.
at
five to twelve the couples' two guinea
pigs start procreating in their cage facing the bewildered, silenced
couple. a lot of wheezing, puffing and blowing, stamping and trampling.
