Director’s Notes

Are You In Character?
Method Acting?
Pretending that
The You

Who Procrastinates
with Great Proclivity,

Who Imagines that
Laziness Is the Actual
Lay of Your Soul,

Who Fears that
Your Love of
Solitude and
Savored Social
Ineptitude

Are Actually
Signs of the Sin of
Solipsistic Narcissism?

Are You Pretending
That’s You?

Sometimes I Am.

But I’m Hearing from
The Director –

Who Assures Me
That I’ll Learn My
Soul Craft
by Playing
Many Roles –

That I’ve Always Been
Free
to Write
My Own Script,

Perhaps with
Lines of Love
Overcoming Fear
in The Third Act,

But Whoever
I Am
Playing,

I Must Remember:

I Am
Always
The Director’s
Beloved Child.
