THE MAN WHO WILL DIE IN MY PLAY
The man who will die in my play
will first remove his skin and hang it on the chair.
And the chair will say
shrugging its shoulders
your death is not my problem
The rose in a vase will intervene
and cite as an example the crystal vase:
I’m dying in the vase and the vase doesn’t care
it only gleams with all its facets
and the chair will say
those are your problems
Then the grumpy sofa will remember
Once a man stood on this chair with a noose at his neck,
and the chair rejoiced as it was kicked aside
and the man’s legs hung in the air
And the chair will say
JUST GO AWAY
The man who will die in my play
may remove his skin
but respecting the chair
let him throw it to the floor
The chair has its own problems
And after all
this is just
A PLAY
Paris, 1992
