“As we are no longer anyone, we aren’t worth much of anything.”
The world is going to hell in a hand basket, it’s official.
A decadent plutocrat couple, hanging on to their privileges as misery hangs on to the world, exhaust themselves keeping themselves upright as everything collapses around them.
Just as wax or ice once melted will never retake its initial from, returning to the past is impossible. They have pushed things a bit too far and fear invades them in this familiar closed room.
The axis that has kept them upright, proud and arrogant for ages resembles more and more a roundabout. Faced with the enigmatic, the incomprehensible, they lose the capacity for language which transforms into a horrible jargon of disoriented humans, into long obsessive complaints, while around them the voices of their unconsciousness resound.
Hard, they become flaccid…
