Wet debates By André Ferreira Shoes stick to the floor, people bounce against each other. A lavender garden sprayed with vinegar and sweat inside a closed room. Stools, chairs and tables form barricades and trenches, rhythmic steps, floor trembles, voices raise into a battle of arguments. -SUDDEN SILENCE-The first grenade is thrown, SPLASH! a water balloon hits someone’s head. Retaliation! SQUISH! Three guys corner a push-over, his face wrinkles, an icy blast numbs his body. Between squishes and splashes and ‘this’ and ‘that’ And bombs and drones There ought to be more to debates than words. A break. ‘anything else?’ The arguments stop. Tables, stools and chairs return. The check please.
