TIME PASSES BY VIRGINIA WOOLF

The wind, Antonio reads, sent its spies about the house again, they’re summoning you in the other room, Ida says, numbers, Ada says, sparkling water with ice, Eva says, what power could now prevent the insensibility of nature, Antonio says [in a mock horror voice], lights off, Ida says, one more page, Mamo, Antonio says, this side, Perrito, Ida says, my side of the covers has all the amenities plus free lectures on literature, Mister Perro, Antonio says, if he chooses your side of the bed there will be chicken drumsticks for dinner for a week, Ida says, but what after all is one night, Virginia Woolf says, why are you doing this to me, Antonio’s father says, say to your son I am not afraid of you, Peter Ström says, your phone contains a recording of your sister, Arturo says, don’t need to hear it, Antonio says, open your iTalk app and press aaaa, Arturo says, leave him alone his visit to his sister’s house in Baltimore has been erased already, Antonio’s mother says, the red button on your iTalk app that says aaaa, Arturo says, your tooth implant looks beautiful the bone has regenerated, Dr. Sze says, your sister has been delivered to Baltimore City jail in Baltimore, Thomas Saville says, we’re waiting for her to be transferred to the Spring Grove State Hospital in Catonsville, Maryland, 3:16 a.m., Antonio’s phone says, no chance of falling sleeping again, Arturo says, but the stillness and the brightness of the day were as strange as the chaos and tumult of the night, Virginia Woolf says, here’s the living room where Ada used to dance to Ravel’s Une barque sur l’océan, Nicola says, running across it in her pink ballet uniform, Dr. Adler says, the Blood Bank out the window, Hershleder says, two men loading plasma into a truck, Katerina says, a truck that will traverse a valley that will resemble the X-rays of your tooth implant, Arturo says, Bovary’s multilayered hat according to Nabokov, Jules Jakobsdóttir says, that vent where he went was sort of a funnel, Dora says, that led him down into a frightful black tunnel, did my mother send you to ogle me do you want café con leche, Estela says, or do you want to rest first or rent a movie to distract yourself, what movie do you want to see, Antonio says, Iron Man we can buy it at Best Buy, why don’t we rent instead of buy, Antonio says, I want to see it on the television screen, can’t you connect the computer to the television, Antonio says, yes but I need the cables, what cables, Antonio says, you know what cables don’t be a moron, I wouldn’t know I don’t have a television, Antonio says, yes you do you hide it from your daughters, I don’t have a television, Antonio says, the one in the closet in Ida’s room, ah that old mammoth I threw it away already, Antonio
