thirty-eight
38. (10/22/2009)
an apology to those who’ve had to deal with me.
[Enter a man.
He sets up a typewriter.
This takes a long time.
He notices that he doesn’t have a table.
He walks off stage.
He gets a small fold up table,
the kind you have to unfold each leg on.
He sets it up.
This takes a long time.
He doesn’t have a chair.
He walks off stage.
He enters with an office chair,
the kind with wheels and many levers,
still in its box.
He puts the chair together.
This takes a particularly long time.
Opening the box.
Reading the instructions.
Realizing the instructions are printed in german.
He reads them aloud.
He can not speak german,
But german is almost like English.
English is Germanic.
Right?
He pushes the chair to the table.
Sits in it.
Adjusts the lever.
Begins to type.]
MAN
An apology to those who’ve had to deal with me.
I’m sorry.
