A Play for Public

Do we exist

If we are not seen?

What do you mean

When you say

Just breathe

If I disappear in the noise

Do I lose my voice?

If we disappear in the choice

Do we create the noise?

How have you really been?

Underneath the constant stream

Underneath the constant stream

Underneath the constant stream

Free thought floats on a boat beside the concrete street

When would be a good time to end the constant stream?

Time sips the water and rain drops on collective thought

Do the bricks know that they crumble our thoughts?

How long do we keep pretending

That we are free?

Using bricks and mortar as temporary relief

Are you really in control?

Are you a part of the whole?

Are you a part of the whole?

Does a stop sign really mark a border

When the bridge comes down?

What happens if we step on it

Cross over

And look around

And around

And around

What are the rules of play in this town?

And break new ground

And break ground

And break and break

Ground and break

And break.
