“So many television marriages -
that playing out of lives against a
background of the tube.
Instead of two lives filing the room,
There are their two lives and the eleven o'clock news with

You don't laugh with me;
I don't laugh with you.
All the wit comes pouring out of the tube.

the more passive the relationship becomes.

with minor speaking parts.
And the more we fail to speak,
the more difficult speaking becomes”
