Tomb of a Room

I’m thoroughly surprised you chose the brocade over chiffon my dear poking at the brie only serves to show insolence and ignorance and the violins give me such a headache such a migraine jacketed like a caterpillar in its cocoon it’s no wonder it’s difficult to breath in this stagnant setting this tomb of a room we share but you knew before the steaks were cut that even the open window wouldn’t clear this air didn’t you?

Some nasty comedy, like "The War of the Roses". Brilliantly dark.

The tension is so thick, a knife will not be able to slice the air. This is deep and filled with so many emotions. "Like a caterpillar in its cocoon" Seems to me, he needs to stay hidden. Just sayin'. The mood is set, and every word is felt. ~ Brandy

Ahhh, yes !! I see that. The Tuxedo the speaker is wearing. Like a cocoon. He still needs to stay in that cocoon. Hidden.

Thank you for your comments. The reference to "jacketed like a caterpillar" is about the dinner tuxedo the speaker is wearing. I appreciate the read.
