COMMENT BY GAIL: Here again, you can virtually make up your own story, and I saw this as a very understated love poem. Presented quite objectively - just "here it is" - we see an aging childless couple who may outlive their money as they have outlived their looks. Their life together is mostly silent and romance is long gone, but they are still sharing the same bed, and as Tevye's wife Golde says, "If that's not love, what is?"
