“And the little screaming fact that sounds through all history: repression works only to strengthen and knit the repressed.”

I am hungry and
you feed me.
I am thirsty and
you give me wine.
I punch a time clock and
you answer to the sun.
I complain of cost and
you pay the price.

All are benefits to the writer, the first set also benefits a provider, the latter action is not directed towards the writer but refer to the willy-nilly reverse conduct of the provider. That was my logic when I read it first time.
Then I set the characters, "I" being a non-working spouse ands the "you" being a working and providing spouse. It sort of fit.
Thank you for explaining what you had in mind, I would not have conceived such on my own. Steinbeck did not change things with my taken care of 'toy'-provider thinking, until I read your note. A title?
