thoughts

when I was a kid
I saw plays
I went to the alley theater
miller outdoor theater
I thought I understood theater

at least in so far as
the general staging and whatnot 
KINDA
what to expect
MAYBE 
would be a better way to put it

THEN 
I saw something 
DOWNSTAIRS
on the small stage -- in the round
& it was different 

the play was still a play
I don't even THINK 
it was interactive 

but 
the in the round -ness was enough
to turn the paradigm on it's 
HEAD

SEVENTEEN MONTHS in the MAKING 


it's LIKE 
a WHOLE different 

I hope I wasn't too weird 
I had SO MUCH 
FUN

& it may be 
WRONG to say this
it MIGHT be 

the pitch hitting 
took on this
LITERALLY 
competitive 
ENERGY 

& that first guy
he was good 
in the way you might expect
someone in austin coming out of the crowd

could easily be 

BUT THEN

I saw you talking to him earlier 
from across the room

he was amazing
in a completely different way 

who else ya got
INDEED 

resonates 

AND
it seemed so
natural and synchonistic and like it wasn't planned and yet couldn't have been 
BETTER
