*stares blankly into space*
*repositions self on chair*
*crosses legs, right over left*
*rests right elbow on knee, chin in right hand*
*looks you directly in the eye, smirk on face*
I am...
*pause*
*looks away, shaking head*
*stands up and walks toward window*
*reaches for cigarettes*
*remembers I quit smoking more than a year ago*
*experiences sudden frustration and anxiety*
*turns abruptly, facing you*
*screams...*
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME????
*feigns pulling out hair*
*falls to the floor in a fit of laughter*
*stands up and takes a bow*
*waits for applause*
*realizes I am not on stage*
*realizes there is no audience...*
*... but you*
*and even you are not here to witness*
*I think to myself...*
what a bloody waste of dramatics!
as is the whole of my existence!
a waste!
thirty-nine years of floundering
so what?
what now?
I think I'll go back to bed
