A Self-Enclosed Sorrow Olga Vaynkof people become smaller, you know. Some don't realize .it, sensing only that their fall will hurt less the closer they are to the ground. There is less to hurt; small stones don't shatter like boulders do. People grow smaller. Careful, or not, they slip between thoughts and are gone. Like rings: petite treasures are lost only once, ending up tucked away in the night's jam, unfound forever. One might gleam them in the grass or among glass shards small enough never to be broken again. They're survived by bastard intestinal pits and waxed smiles, leaving us to roam indifferent days, lonely as dial tones. People grow smaller. They do. 70
The Buyers or The <strong>Home</strong> Owners Rachel Myles JASON KATE PROMPTER/REALTOR SE1TING: A rather empty room which is well /it, but looks like it has natura/ lighting. There is dark wood paneling on the stage left side which looks fairly old but in good con dition. There is a large blank white wall upstage which has some slight outlines of dust remaining due to pictures and furniture which stayed stationary for much too long. Close to the stage right side there is a doorway which leads to the hallway. There is no actual door for the doorway, more like an archway ... well now it is anyway. Stage right there's another blank white wall but this one looks newly painted. As lights come up we see JASON and KATE standing center stage admiring the room. JASON is staring particularly hard at the stage left panels as if the one odd wall confuses him. He pauses, comes out of it, looks around and begins. JASON: This has all gotta go. (Waves his hand around indicating the entire room) KATE: What does? JASON: All of this shit. (Motions again) KATE: Be specific will you? JASON: lam. KATE: No, you just keep saying "this." JASON: Exactly! KATE: Exactly, what? JASON: Huh? KATE: Let's try this again. JASON: Why? KATE: I'm lost. JASON: Aren't we all? KATE: You're lost too? JASON: No, of course not. I never get lost. KATE: But, I thought you just said we were all - JASON: -Forget what I SAID. Listen to what I'm SAYING! KATE: Okay, so what were you saying? JASON: When? KATE: Now. 71
