- A play in three scenes and a visual/auditive/olfactory interlude
1.
Art walks into an apartment.
On a low table by the right-hand wall a lamp is lit.
Who are you?
I am the one to whom something is owed.
2.
A student walks out of a class: Thinking and Syntax: why did he go there.
A message reads: Art is with me.
…
The metropolitan transport system car is bustling with people; some in conversation, others expressionless.
Ambient music pervades the air.
The city smells familiar.
…
3.
A new life.
***
Is the student running away?
Is the visitor from scene one (Art) owed?
Is she gone?
***
Epilogue
Pleasantly bright lighting lights both stage and audience.
(Curtains)
