FallingInLove


(a passion play)
ACT 1 "LUST" (I THINK I LOVE YOU. WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?)

Here it is, The big "WOW!", the big "GEE!"(Woo!Hoo!
The big "YES!YES!YES!YES!)You've been waiting for.
This is where you find something or someone and believe they
are better, greater, cuter, wiser, more wonderful than
anything you have ever known.
Lust isn't a sin, it's a necessity, for with lust as our
guide we imagine our bodies moving the way our bodies were
meant to move: We can do marathons with our feet,
lift pounds with our arms, have stars in our eyes and
do a crazy tango. (DANCING ALL NIGHT!)...and you think:
I have no needs occasionally chewing a breath mint. You
are the best thing that's ever happened to me, probably
because you haven't happened to me yet. Now I can pass into
the next act, so pathetically called:


ACT 2 "EUPHORIA" (OR:"OH!YIPEE, YOU'RE MINE!")

You feel funny inside. You feel funny outside.
You feel like you could do anything and noone
would dare laugh at you.
This Love, You will treasure. You will not put it
in the basement next to your rowing machine?
Treadmill? and Thermal body sweat wrap?(Old clothes?
(Leg warmers?). And you will not take this love
for granted, because that is the biggest sin
of all. And you say: I feel sooooooo good,
I feel so strong, I feel attractive and I
could learn to live with that feeling. Oh
Let us sing and dance and eat brown mushy
foods Low in fat! Oh Joy! Oh Rapture! Oh
but what if I'm not good at this? Oh I am
no good at this. I am a miniscule speck on the
wall of humanity and look how badly
painted the wall is!AAH!!!! I'm becoming
Very, VERY afraid. That must be because
I'm passing into the Third act called:

ACT3 "FEAR(ALSO KNOWN AS :UH-OH!!!!)"

This is where the doubt begins, Where
the mind comes back from shopping, yells
at the heart, binds and gags it to a nice
lounge chair and allows guilt, failure
and remembrances of things past to sit in
for a nice game of regular poker, or(GO FISH! or
CRAZY EIGHTS!). This is where you fear what you
need most. If it's a person you love, you
fear appearing foolish in front of many,
many people at the same time. And you
begin to think: Oh no! What if I'm
wrong? What if this really sucks? What if
my heart is wearing dark sun glasses , It's
had dark sun glasses on before maybe
even a patch, dark heavy patches
taped all over it. How can anyone love
me if I don't love myself? I mean
I love myself, there's just between the
top of my head and the bottom of my
feet that could use some improvement.
I'mnot demeaning myself, I have relatives
who do that.

ACT 4 "DISGUST" ( AND THE STRANGE DESIRE TO EAT EVERYTHING
IN SIGHT, HIDE IN YOUR ROOM, WRITE A POEM, AND WATCH OLD
BORING MOVIES WITH FRIENDS FROM SCHOOL)(OR GO 2 A RALLY)

Now comes the unavoidable time when you say to anyone
who will listen: What the heck am I doing
anyway?! If it's a person you love,
first you hate only their foulest
inadequacies, then you start hating their
good points as well. If it's running you
love, you start to hat hills, sidewalks,
and bad weather, and soon anything that
slightly resembles a bump, concrete or a
small breeze. I can't believe I ever said
I felt this way, I must have been dreaming!
Wait, this is no dream, this is a film
noir movie, and one of those really dark
ones too. I mean this is love? This is
what they tell you about when you're 11
and naive? or 18 and naive? or evevn older!!!! and naive.

->->->->->->STOP!
ACT 5 " THE TRUTH " (LOVE IS HARD WORK. AND SOMETIMES,
HARD WORK CAN REALLY HURT)

Love is a game. If they didn't
you before, we will tell you now. Love is
a game and if you play you either win,
lose, or get ejected before the game is
over. There are no ties. Only the ones
that are created.
Maybe you'll lose and learn some great
meaningful answers from it all(like if its
2 good to be true, It is!) It's easy to
love something when you don't have to work
at it. It's harder when it asks something
of you, you just might not be ready
or afraid to give. Give it anyway!?!
The heart is the most resilent muscle. It
is alsothe stupidest. So if this love
you've found is good 2 u, Hol it, Keep
it, shout about it. If it isn't then maybe
You should just become really good frenz?

ACT 6 " THE FINALE "( ALSO KNOWN AS THE BIG WHOPPER! BIG
MAC! THE BEST BUFFET EVER, OR THE MOST IMPORTANT PART
OF THE WHOLE DARN THING!)

So this is love, as demanding as it can be, and as strong and
wise as it makes you become.
There is something to be gained from
commitment. There are rewards for
staying when you would rather leave.
And there is something to be said
for running up that hill when you would
rather slide down it. And so you let
love come perch upon your shoulder
and you don't turn away.
YOU DO THE TANGO!
