Lights up on:

A TABLE.

Upon which:

OLD USED LIPSTICK

A GREEN APPLE

PRESERVED VALENTINES

A SPANISH/ENGLISH DICTIONARY

These items converse. Then:

LIPSTICK MAKES THE APPLE WEEP.

THE VALENTINES AREN’T IN SPANISH.

THE TABLE BECOMES A BED.

LIPTSTICK AND APPLE MAKE LOVE.

THE DICTIONARY EATS THE VALENTINES.

Music. The BED speaks:

BED
I’ve seen it all before.

Smoke, as:

LIPSTICK AND APPLE LIGHT CIGARETTES.

THE DICTIONARY IMMOLATES ITSELF.

THE FIRE SPREADS.

Music. The BED says its last words:

BED
I’ve (seen/had) it all before.
I wouldn’t have it any other way.
