The narrator and M go to job interviews, where they are often kicked out for their “performances.” After one such interview, they are sitting on the subway train, untangling a ball of yarn they used for their performance, when a passenger asks them what they are doing. Unable to think of an answer, the narrator replies, “Art.” The next day, a photo of the two of them is published in a newspaper under the headline “Youth in the Arts,” and requests for interviews start pouring in.
