Performance

At some point, you need to wonder what cue you’re waiting on

Attention darting from screen to screen

I’ll never do you no harm

There’s a thought that keeps knocking on red interior doors

you only see it every time you close your eyes

But please believe me

you’re almost there, grown strong so

it’s no burden anymore

in this intermission, only gently muttering now and

soon it will be over

We’re dragging towards the final curtain

Oh darling, just think:

it wouldn’t leave you to monologue forever

if it was waiting in the wings
