Crop

The two men were sitting together on a park bench.

Although they had been good friends for many years, their backgrounds, education, occupations and family lives, were all very different. There was no real pattern to the frequency of their catchups. It was usually a random phone call from one to the other that brought meetings about. The park was relatively close to the university, where one of them was a lecturing professor in the Behavioural Sciences faculty. The other laboured on building sites around the city. As said, their diverse backgrounds and lifestyles were so far apart, it is perfectly reasonable to wonder why such a strong and constant friendship could ever come about

One of their cell phones sounded; it’s uncertain which one.

After finishing the call, during which he had said very little, one of them turned to his friend and sighed, saying, “Sorry, I have to go. The camel’s got out again and this time he’s trampled all over my wife’s opium poppy crop!”

Getting up, he said, “Domesticity can be complicated.”
