Play Thing

Jenene Ravesloot

Act One:

Pinwheels, rockets, flares-stage left. Paper birds
on thin wood dowels, a few fake trees-stage right.
A yellow moon, inflatable blue-eyed doll dragging
a toe tag, front and center, please.

Act Two:

Metal bed on a raised platform, peeling wallpaper,
a red neon sign, screams of pleasure, grunts, sighs,
muffled slaps, sobs leading to a struggle, gunshots,
hospital scene, death, trial, verdict-in that order.

Epilogue:

No need to apologize for the play’s predictability,
no need to raise the curtain again. The audience left
at intermission along with the disgruntled reviewer
and usherette. The ghost light is on. Sunday will be
black.
