TREATMENT

The relationship between a handsome young broker
and a lovely young curator
is in trouble.
Before they can marry, he must
come to tolerate,
then feel guarded affection for
a good natured buffoon
who populates dioramas
with stuffed mouse couples in period dress,
then for an assortment of others,
some less likeable,
who also take passionate interest
in an activity that generates no profit
