Tea with my demons

3/27/18

D-one: But I don’t drink tea. You know that. How many years do I have to continually remind you of the simplest things! How could anyone possibly think you are smart?

D-two: Give the kid a break he was valedictorian of kindergarten today.

D-three: Yeah but the other kids were really stupid.

D-One : I want the best for you kid. I do. I really do, but you know I had it harder than you and look at me today. You’ll never be as successful as I am.

D-Two: well he was a star in middle school and played four instruments and composed and won lots of awards.

D-three: yeah he embarrassed me going up there so many times for all those awards.

D-one: what do we want, you ask?

D-two: what are we trying to tell you?

D-three: and how can we make peace?

D-one: what does anyone want? Love, peace, acceptance, money, power, fame... immortality, sex.

(Two beats)

D-two: revenge

D-three: you must really be hurting.
