Styrofoam LOVE
(or The Horny Dogs)

I walk by the door several times.
I'm always late, I don’t understand the opening hours.
I prepared the agenda with Marce and concentrated to arrive in time that day at this specific store, 

the one I’m most interested in from the entire neighborhood.
I ring the bell
enter
everything is dark
a claustrophobic lair.
Eduardo is a man with white hair
very gentile,
The whole window is covered in black acrylic, polarized.
From outside you can’t see a thing

He immediately calls me "Paulita"

My heart palpitates and I get REALLY excited
when I lead the eye towards the first white objects.

Public demonstrations of love and affection
set in styrofoam:

Happy Birthday!
My Birthday
My Baptism

Our Wedding
My first birthday
My First Communion
My First Wedding
I Love You

+

Various numbers and single letters

+

Do you want to see more inside?
Yes, please

I pass through an obscure corridor
I am filled with white balls.
I climb the stairs

+

I see "the girls" sanding many horse heads,
"for the Martin Fierro, you know?"

Everything gets dusty.

Marta has serious acne problems
Eduardo makes a semi-obscene joke,
she laughs and grows another pimple

+

Eduardo treats me very well,
He is interested in art.
HE likes my project

HE WANTS TO PARTICIPATE

He asks me where I live
if I draw,
what I studied,
if I would like to work with polystyrene
He asks me for my contact details
Just in case something comes up
you never know

+

Ionic columns
Toucan
Star
Flower
Heart
A tiny goat that needs a bit more sanding to make it just the right white

+

He shows me records of past projects,
Marvelous polystyrene acrobatics
He guarantees the loan of the records
“I can give you all that you want”
I almost died

+

overwhelmed by the excitement, i forget myself, 

and address him informally
He gets angry, but is just joking
Luckily it didn’t turn into a pimple
+

Paulita, today I am very busy,
Why don’t you come again tomorrow morning?

+

Tomorrow morning.
TOMORROW MORNING
Arriving on the dot doesn’t mean to meet on top of a dot,.It means being on time.I ring the bell Eduardo opens
I ENTER
Paulita, can you come at 4 because now I can’t? yes no problem.
3:10 pm sms "Eduardo Styrofoam"
Paulita can you  come now? I forgot that at 17.15 pm I have an appointment at the dentist. I run to the Expanded Polystyrene of Eduardo. I ENTER He Asks me to wait for him a second He is with a customer. (I see a big fat gentleman in the back) The lobby is very small. chair desk with computer, counter.
I sit in front of the computer which is turned on.

THE SCREENSAVER DOESN”T WORK 

unwittingly
I look at the monitor from the corner of my eye.
A lot of text

"HORNY DOGS”

I THINK MANY THINGS ALL AT ONCE

I READ BELOW,
FAST
LINE TO LINE
IN A HUGE HURRY

Eduardo, I’ll be right back

I forgot something very important
- cold hands gushing a waterfall-
I walk semi fast

SMOKE BOMB

Lost
I quicken steps,
Aimlessly
I Step through the door of the OTHER styrofoam store of the neighborhood,

The one to avoid,
The one I had avoided!

I recognize in the writing on the window,
a picture Eduardo showed me yesterday among his files.
Completely DavidLynched I head for
"Total Pack"

Pablito
ALWAYS at the counter.
He sells commercial packaging.
RAYS OF SUNSHINE ON ALUMINIUM TRAY
(Those for delivery)


The amount of energy received from the Sun on the Earth's surface depends on the angle at which the energy reaches the Earth.
When the north pole is tilted toward the Sun, "Total Pack", The Aluminum trays and Pablito are receiving more solar energy than usual
and we can say they are "burned"
Pablito doesn’t really like air conditioning
and a fan  would take up a lot of space.
He’s thinking of putting up a little awning.

I DO "THE" QUESTION
And confirm my suspicion.

For some time he has been harassing his sister.
