THE MONTAGUES BY STAN RICHARDSON

AA:    How else am I supposed to care about something if it's not because of who I love
A:    You don't get it
AA:    Help me
A:      You can't get it because you're in it
AA:      So are you

Two men on vacation at an art museum in Mantua kiss, while elsewhere Gaza is attacked. Two men - one Palestinian-American the other Midwestern-American - prod at the  borders between them.
