The Play I Want To Play Poem by Atef Ayadi

i wanted to
write a play
called eileen

the idea is beautifully
romantic,
intellectual,
sensual, and
has a turning point,
a boiling point,

a freezing point,

a chance to laugh
for people in need
and whom do not laugh.

it has hypnotic rhythms,
audience penetration,
seduction,
arousal,

political
agenda,

a business goal oriented play.
it is basically
a shakespearian style.

i want to do it,
play it,
write it,
blow it, or
nail it down with a hammer or
Stapler.

really!

help me
eileen!


light and sound
are not an issue

my voice,
my vocabulary,
my style,
my feelings,

my convictions
whether playing for eileen
or for the audience,
talking to eileen
or to the audience.

both have interests and
my interest is both,
i shall only focus in that.


i like to act
as lover
with a strong
conviction about love
-here, i am not a church dude, -

make the audience
go nuts.

not angry!
nuts!
