Collins begins the poem by symbolizing a married couple as “Once, two spoons in bed” (Line 1). This line is significant because it shows the married couple as the kitchen utensils of spoons.

It also advances the plot by showing the audience the warped reality of Ray and Sylvie in their own world, and lets them decide different interpretations.…
