2.14.2007 The Play about Valentine’s Day (It Must be Addressed)

“We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” ~Author Unknown

The Guy is here.

The other characters in the play – The One Before, The Fella, J, The Curiosity, The Brother, The Brother’s Boyfriend, and on and on – are also gathered.

For a bit, they just stand around.

Then:


THE GUY
I know what you’re all thinking.

General hubbub from the group: “no, not at all, don’t know what you’re talking about, ect.”

THE GUY (cont.)
It’s the Valentine’s Day play. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Oh no! He’s either gonna get sweetly sentimental and plunge us all into a diabetic coma or he’s gonna go for the sad and lonely and make us all wanna shoot ourselves.”

More denial hubbub.

THE GUY (cont.)
You’re thinking it. I know you’re thinking it.

THE BROTHER
Okay. Maybe a little.

THE FELLA
I was. Definitely.

THE BROTHER’S BOYFRIEND
I just didn’t wanna get eaten by the Giant Bear again.

THE GUY
Well, you all have nothing to worry about. I’m not gonna make this too sentimental or too sad and lonely. Because I don’t feel either way today.

General relief from the group.

THE GUY (cont.)
However, I do feel obliged to address Valentine’s Day, since it is an important holiday, and you all have shown up for today’s play. So, I have invited a very special guest.

Excited hubbub from the group.

THE GUY (cont.)
Special Guest! Come on out!

In walks Cupid.

But not the one we might expect. He’s got the wings and the archery stuff and all, but instead of being a chubby little cherub, Cupid is a blind blues harmonica player who’s got some serious strut.

CUPID AS A BLIND BLUES HARMONICA PLAYER
Peace, my brothers.

THE BROTHER
Okay. That’s weird.

THE GUY
I know. But so is love. You never know what’s gonna come walking out of the wings once the lights come up. On stage and in life.

Hit it, Cupid.

CUPID AS A BLIND BLUES HARMONICA PLAYER
You got it.

Cupid takes out his harmonica. And he starts to improvise a blues song, the call and response kind, that all of the characters in the play can join in on.

The song talks about love, of course.

Everybody sings like their lives depend on it.

Then a Giant Bear appears and eats the Brother’s Boyfriend.

Just kidding.

I saw Cupid with wings Monday night with Monique, and he stopped us outside of Cite, and sang us a song, and told us his story, and then asked for money, but he didn't really have wings. Actually, he wasn't Cupid either. He was a bum from Nawlins.
