Suppose this time I see what he saw

All this going on within me, and yet I seem to see it outside. Is the world inside me? Engulfed by my body? When did that happen?

 

I saw images flickering on the screens and I caught only a glimpse of them, thinking: Suppose this time I see what he saw.

What do we do now that we´re happy

…what ought we to do when we are at leisure? Clearly we ought not to be amusing ourselves, for then amusement would be the end of life…
- Aristotle

 

To much time to think, too little to do.

Hunt out (reprise)

Have you seen the lost girl?
Were you sent to watch her?
What girl?
The lost girl.
Where is she?
Have you forgotten about her?
Is there something missing?
Have you lost the…?
What is it?

 

A woman is found dead in a forest – in a film. The blond actress, however, comments on the event – on the stage. But shortly after that she is dead, too – or does it only seem to be that way? The eerie crime thriller atmosphere mixes with the distant play of the onlookers about hunting and questioning, and their different views of the truth. Relics of the past mix with childlike expectations, at once strange attitudes and familiar opinions.

…except that I would like to be rid of it…

It seems to me, I said, that in a sense I have everything, except…
Except?
Except that I would like to be rid of it.
I sought, this time, to approach him.
I mean I tried to make him understand that, although I was there,
still I couldn’t go any farther, and that I, in turn, had exhausted my resources.
The truth was that for a long time I had felt I was at the end of my strength.
But you’re not, he pointed out. (the one who was standing apart from me)
