Hysteria


As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved in her laughter and being part of it, until her teeth
Were only accidental stars with a talent for squad-drill. I was drawn in by short gasps, inhaled at
Each momentary recovery, lost finally in the dark caverns of her throat, bruised by the ripple of
Unseen muscles. An elderly waiter with trembling hands was hurriedly spreading a pink and white
Checked cloth over the rusty green iron table, saying: “If the lady and gentleman wish to take their
Tea in the garden, if the lady and gentleman wish to take their tea in the garden…” I decided that if
The shaking of her breasts could be stopped, some of the fragments of the afternoon might be
Collected, and I concentrated my attention with careful subtlety to this end.
