two crustaceans brush up whilst feeding on algae and other bottom vegetation, their hard shells clunk together providing an awkward yet admirable dance....well its more of a confused waltz. the opportunity was clenched by two stubborn pincers, both unsure why they did it but too afraid to let go. what started out of curiosity and perhaps even desperation a friendship was born. circumstances allowed for a hasty companionship, and a bond was formed. fickle arguments were common and they rarely saw eye to eye, yet there was a love that existed, and it was tender and fragile. the two crabs brandished their claws and buffed out their shells, warding off any potential hurt. unfortunately they ended up hurting each other, most often in self defense and insecurity. subtle tactics eroded the already weakening bond, until finally it was severed.
i shed a tear for every incident of pain felt by the two lost crabs. and because of this i have not stopped weeping.
how is it that love, caring and joy becomes anger, resentment and sadness. how is an innocent escapade become one of imprisonment and conditions. eploitation of emotions and manipulation. i feel ill at the mere thought of what sinister demons were at work. there is only sadness now, confusion also.
