What if my idea to write the play for a musical turns into another failure in writing a good enough play for any but self-publication like my plays based on ‘Dorman’ (Plays at http://vpt.hit.bg), or triggers a new round of checking out my personality and occupations. Would it not be much better to continue with my poetry retrospective and see what long piece I have in poetry on the motley background of real life, adding to the resultant picture- where the background gulps the figures in focus- this old poem of mine:
ASKING
What will you do first thing at dawn?
I heard a sick man ask
I'll thank the world that I was born,
for my chance to do tasks
You shouldn't do that, thanks it should
give you for being round
The world' s now desperate to prove
its right to get you bound
What was today that you saw first?
A weak man I heard say
I saw a glittering small bird
when I looked at the day
You shouldn't have done that again,
a one time's just enough
You should have found the right place
and someone you can love
What did you do last thing last night?
An active man asked me
I found a one man to fight,
the person who fells trees
I can't afford to lose again,
lost branches, birds and play
Now I shall join in the chain
but can't participate
V.P.T.
