this morning i heard a squirrel
outside my window utter
“eli, eli lama sabbachtani.”

to this squirrel
who has a lovely fur coat,
all the acorns he could ever eat,
free housing, good schools,
i replied: “you are insatiable!”

i closed the window
for i will not let this squirrel
dampen my optimism
and continued brushing my teeth
with lead-free toothpaste.

That's right, the folks who put on the annual Winter Carnival of New Works say they accept submissions of plays of any size. Read for yourself: http://www.madcapplayers.com/newplay.html

They're local ladies who make plays. See what they're up to here: http://www.dollyrockets.org/
