Eat a heart.

My synapses, collapses.

Battered eyesockets bloody.

Emphasis enough?

Hyperbolic, pathetic, but true.

Truth being...

I cannot observe our moments.

Personify, perspire have persective of that.

I can, hold, it.

Feel it's luxury swell and break me

Then move on.

To the next one, wanting the old one.

I order make another!

Destroy the vapid, by paying for breath?

Suckle for permission.

I love my baby, but she got to go.

I love my baby, but it’s killin’ my flow.

I love her deeply,

I love her so,

I love my baby; but she got to go.

I’m under her thumb,

she keeps my heart under lock,

my soul is home by midnight,

and dancin’ I cannot

When I first saw her eyes,

my life was lifted up,

there was no illusion,

I’m fallin’. For your delusion.

So i’m packing the bags,

Kissed my baby goodbye,

I’m gonna find me a new life,

See you now, goodbye.

I love you baby, but I gotta go.

Gonna find me:

a dance,

a home,

some grub,

a bar,

you put the spark out,

and this has gone to far.

So baby our loves over.

The brief was about A pointing a gun at B. And they have to get their way out of…

We’re getting closer, only 10 briefs left to go, I think.  A bit of a lazy brief, for the last three days it’s been a bit like this: 17. Write out a play, delete it, rewrite 18. Rewrite one of your old plays (not brief 17) 19. Rewrite someone elses play. All the same shit, so I didn’t follow this either, I’ve no interest in rewriting someone else’s play. So I made a short one about this very…
