modern life

what are you doing today, stanley?

oh, I dunno, edna. I thought I'd clear out some of that old stuff in the basement.

what stuff?

you know, that pile of garbage that's been down there for years.

not my antiques and found artifacts! they're valuable!

really?

maybe not intrinsically, but, well, emotionally. to me. you know?

you can't be fixated on this attachment to useless material objects, edna. it's not healthy.

but I cherish the memories!

I see. do you remember when we met?

well, sure. sort of.

what was I wearing?

I don't know. the same torn levis you always wore?

did you keep them?

those rags? no way!

me neither.
