Drink your coffee (It'll all be OK)

Off the topic of poetry, but still on creative writing.

Here is the 10 minute one-act play I wrote for playwriting last semester.
I've put it aside for quite some time and almost forgot about it.
I hope to make some revisions soon. Please read it and express any reaction you may have.

Here it is!

I will be quite relieved and happy if you enjoy it at all.

P.S.- You might notice it's actually on a different blog. This is because blogger does not allow uploading non-image documents. Gah. And I did not feel like switching to a new blog just to make this post.

I do not want to be Mrs. Dalloway

I was reading Woolf

When fear crawled down my neck

I thought of Kenya

And the passport

Misplaced at Heathrow –

An international mishap.

I’ll go down to the Hampton

P.O, reclaim myself.

I filled out the missing paper

And saw the scene unfold ahead.

Oh, what a larceny!

Someone took it,

Assumed my identity,

Is now wanted for acts of

Terrorism – jihad

On the Ethiopian state

Next door

Could have been

A Somalian extremist

Behind me

in the boarding line.

Kenya will not be safe

I will not be safe

I’ll go.

Unless I’m arrested.

I picture two men in black

Suits and glasses, slyly

Pulling me aside.

“Ms. Esposito,

come with us.”

When my name is cleared

They’ll warn me,

“You’re never to leave America

especially to go to Africa.”

That would kill me.

I’d settle after a time

And marry that rich conservative

Forget all the reasons for anything,

Everything.
