THE PERFECT COUPLE • by Christopher Kastensmidt

I watched. She noticed. I grinned. She winked. We spoke. I flirted. We walked. We agreed. We parted.

***

We met. We strolled. We conversed. I relaxed. We sat. We touched. We embraced. We kissed. We loved.

***

Dog barked. We awoke. I stretched. I bathed. I cooked. She arose. I smiled. We hugged. We ate. We left. I drove. I worked. I returned.

***

We married. We traveled. We fought. We mended. We lived. We aged.

***

I questioned. She refused. I demanded. She lied. I turned. I cried. I knew.

***

I saw. I followed. I approached. I listened. They laughed. They moaned. I entered. I confronted. She gasped. I yelled. He sneered. I shot. He died. She screamed. I fired. She fell.

***

Jesus wept.


By “The Perfect Couple”, Christopher Kastensmidt is of course referring to subjects and verbs. Language is a beautiful thing.
