don’t give up yet
I would give anything
to see you smoking a Camel Light again
in the backyard
While I watch you closely
and ask if you are okay.
I get to eat off this plate and drink from this tumbler (tumblr). That is all.
Yesterday was the Ides of March. Whatever, right? Well.
I wrote for two solid hours and came up with some really great and exciting material for my new play MOTHERWORLD! I thought I had saved everything and was about to e-mail my new pages to my collaborator, but when I tried attaching the file, it didn’t exist! Gone to the world, only a memory now.
I said “Really?” twenty times, went to the bathroom and urinated with my head in my hands, still saying “Really?” and returned to my desk and jotted down all that I remembered before leaving to see a screening of ‘The Room’ with my fellow Seattle Rep interns.
Good one, Ides of March. I’ll be watching next year, and it’ll definitely be a write-in-a-notebook day.
