30 on the way back

A couple sits in front.

And in front of them another couple.
And another.

Ignoring the foreign workers half the people on this upper deck are coupled.

They smile at each other. They snuggle against the roaring air conditioning. They talk in low voices beyond the air conditioned roar.

How did they meet? Or decide to couple? Have they coupled? Did they start there? How young were they then? How long more will they go at it? Why couple? Will it hold true?

How short is a scholarship bond or handphone contract against the til death do us part of coupling; he won't change,she changed. A year may be all it takes. A new iphone. A new couple. Its faster to give her the house and stop seeing her right away.

And cheaper by far,cash on delivery. What do amateurs know? Hire professionals that will do a good job of it. After all, bus drivers and air conditioning servicemen are,too.
