The first time I saw

a registry of a quarter of a turn,

I was delighted.

Today, my house just doesn’t have one

in the general water registry.

A quarter of turn water comes out

A quarter of turn back (or “to the contrary”)

Nothing comes out.

1 inserts his credit card

Approved.

A quarter of turn back,

1 enter, 2 enter a little dizzy,

1 gives a quarter of turn back (to the contrary),

A room in revolution.

Many and many turns, the thing repeats.

2, which went to the room with 1 in 2023,

call 1 on March 1,

- I’m pregnant

- how? You said you took the pill.

- yes, I took it; but something went wrong.

- you can abort, I pay for everything.

2 gets furious, shouts at him rants and raves

2 gives a quarter of a turn back and takes her daughter to her mother’s house

Back, a quarter of turn back to the contrary,

Enter, crying, and count her husband what she did.

She tries to explain; sobbing says she loves him, she asks for forgiveness.

- I love her so much, I understand what happened,

We will register the child as our son and our son will be.

He hugs and kisses her,

A room,

2 insert the credit card

Approved.

1 gives a quarter of a turn back,

A room in revolution.

A quarter of turn back

1 comes out on his Aston Martin with 1 by his side,

They return to the party where they met.

Many and many different 1s and 2s, expensive cars,

Not so much expensive cars, ramshackle cars, trucks, delivery cars …

Bang, Bang banging in the door, a thunderous noise!

Police!

Someone had given a quarter of a turn back.

Spouts attendants, cleaners, cooks, administrative clerks and the manager,

1s and 2s of all occupied rooms,

some half-naked, almost all barefoot,

with pieces of clothing under the arms

others hiding their sexes,

All are pushed to two prisoner transport trucks.

The lieutenant gives a quarter of a turn back to the contrary.

Transport trucks are closed; all goes to the hoosegow.

The newspapers gave a quarter of turn back,

Journal news poured on the city, to the country, to the world.

Few read them; all the others,

laughing, many saying “ It serves you right!”, “That serves you right I warned you!”.

In the bedrooms and houses of furious relatives.

A quarter of a turn,

Pours curses, mischief, cries.

Why were they arrested?

Leave your guess here.
