In the violet room two men are fighting,
their fingers like claws tearing at each others livers,
their feet entangled in each others guts.
The crowd that should be watching
is busy buying hot dogs and betting
but no longer on one of them.
They are buying and selling shares in bookmakers firms
which in turn are taking on bets
on which of the brokers will make the most profit.
It's a very intricate game, and none of the gamblers
really know how defeat or victory
of one of the fighters
will affect their stakes in the end.
But the fight has been going on for a long time now
so maybe it never will end.
This is what happens in the violet room. |
