Perform we must

I remember moments when I have said something funny, when I have genuinely entertained, or when I have said something enlightening, though I remember that with less fondness.  But I remember before these moments there was such struggle.  Extended periods of turning myself inside out and vomitting embarrassment all about my person to get to the point where I thought I was appreciated rather than tolerated.  One solution is to not care, and I can not care about the embarrassment or not care about the tolerance.  I shall not close down, for perform we must.

The naked woman with a lamb mask wanders along the mezzanine floor.  There are no stairs to the room below, a small empty hall with folding chairs stacked on the far side.  Next to the entrance to the small hall. 

The naked woman with a lamb mask looks at the books as if they are coloured shapes, rectangular flowers, making no attept to reach for one, to open one, or to read one, instead wandering to the end sits on a soft chair with legs folded and tucked.  And hands streatched overhead.  Stands, looks over the railing at the small hall below and returns to sit.

The naked man with a wolf masks enters the room below.  Stops.  Sniffs the air as a wolf does.  Howls as a wolf does.  Looks up at the naked woman with the lamb mask.

They wait.  They watch each other.  They are wary, they do not know how to behave now they cannot talk.

A speaker high on the wall crackles.

Announces: THE KID AND THE WOLF WILL BEGIN IN FIVE MINUTES.

They wait looking at each other.

 

Welcome to my collection of artworks, sketches, stories and other ideas.  I draw something every day and post the picture to my socials as well as to this website.  The list below shows the projects I am currently working on as well as links to the lists of projects I have stopped working on or have completed.
