| |
| Cups and hands |
| |
| Mister Juarroz was always loathe to pick up his coffee cup because he couldn’t help but think that it wasn’t one’s hands that picked up objects but rather the objects that picked up one’s hands. And this fact displeased him, since he couldn’t accept that a simple cup could grab his hand (like an impetuous groom grabbing the timid fingers of a bride). |
| |
| Thus, instead of picking up his cup, Mister Juarroz would spend long minutes glaring at it aggressively. |
| |
| Then he would complain that his coffee had grown cold. |
