Dramatis Personae...


Everything has to be a drama for most humans. 

(me included.) 
 

Not sure why.  I think that's just the way it is. 

We rail against...

Those things we cannot change.

The things that may need changing.

But we filter the action in the wrong direction.


Action...

without focus...

Is DRAMA.


A kind of impotence.

It looks busy...

Suspenseful...


But it is sound and fury signifying...

nada.


Insanity.


Then there are those peaceful souls who mostly watch the drama unfold...

look on in amazement as we, the discord addicts, kick the holy living shit out of everything. 


& each other.


It's like a cockfight.

Madness.


Sometimes as I look at the trail of destruction...

& I think I'd like to change spots for a while.


Watch it from a distance, rather than be in it.


but I can't seem to help myself. 

I was born into it.


When the blood is up...

I can't resist.



Well...

Sometimes I can.


That's when I am the audience...

& the participant in the drama.

at the same time.

& I think, 'this is nuts.'
 
I can make a choice.


When it all goes to hell...

don't look at them. 


Look at me.
