the things I want aren’t behind the bar
but the things that I need are.
role call:
oblivion, are you here?
Stupor – ok.
memory loss – good, glad to see you.
control – Excellent. We didn’t want you anyway.
If social sensibilities are here, please leave now.
numb? Numbness? Are you here?
goddamnit, numbness is never on time.

This one is one of my favorites. Its really fun to perform/read because you can just start doing things like, pointing at a person in the audience and saying, “Dark Scary people? Oh, please report to the office.” and what not. one of my favorite things i’ve ever written, i think.
