I had a dream last night that Johnny Cash left me for the city to make a name for himself in music. He took my stimulus check but left his boots.

Bloodworks Reading Series

Why did I come to a concert alone? This is the way I like to see plays because it makes me more open to the work, but somehow at this lower east side rock venue it makes me feel out of place. I would like to jig about, but the room is full of theater colleagues. If I dance I may lose the potential for friends and career. And why did I bring a book to the club? Did I actually think I could read in between sets? At the same time I am loath to travel without, having becoming immediately and desperately immersed in the collected works of Jane Bowles. But at this moment it just makes me the girl at the bar with the book.

Then I see her dancing. She is the type to buy pants. I can tell because she is wearing what look like new ones.  A lot of people here look like the may frequent stores. I hate shopping for clothes—all the buttoning and sleuthing and squeezing. And I always feel as though if I made it to the store donning something (which is usually, and legally, the case) I might as well stick with that since it’s done me no injustice thus far. I might even have once counted myself as far on the end of the spectrum as Reverend Billy until I met him at an event and was dismayed when a) he dropped an unlit joint into my cleavage and b) (more so) by what looked like blond highlights.

I talk to her after and she is British. I would like to be her friend. Maybe we can shop for pants.

CANARY
a new musical

By: Molly Rice
Directed by: Rachel Chavkin
Music by: Molly Rice and Ray Rizzo
Conceived by: Molly Rice, Ray Rizzo, and Rachel Chavkin
Music direction by: Ray Rizzo

Sally’s trapped in the mineshaft of the High School Hallway, armed
with only her banjo,her boots, her obsession with the Great
Depression, and a big fat chip on her shoulder. She spends her days
grieving her Grandma and trying to crawl back into the past. But when
she musically collides with an “avant-garde” transfer student, a
half-deaf RUSH fanatic, and a Mexican migrant kid, she begins to
wonder if their new sound could save her from suffocation, and to see
that the past and the future meet where your boots hit the ground.

Cat Power, Kristin Hersh and Kiki Durane
Are the only women I know who can go publicly insane.
Can a woman have nervous breakdown?
Can a woman have nervous breakdown?
Can a woman have nervous breakdown, anymore?
