If you're not thinking about change, then this play might be too soon for you.
I Have Just Realized that the Stakes are Myself
Posted by Slay on Friday, October 30, 2009
Years ago, we lifted the first line of this poem by Diane DiPrima for a play called Pursuit of Happiness. It’s been with us ever since.
Revolutionary Letter #1
I have just realized that the stakes are myself
I have no other
ransom money, nothing to break or barter but my life
my spirit measured out, in bits, spread over
the roulette table, I recoup what I can
nothing else to shove under the nose of the maitre de jeu
nothing to thrust out the window, no white flag
this flesh all I have to offer, to make the play with
this immediate head, what it comes up with, my move
as we slither over this go board, stepping always
(we hope) between the lines
