we know now
that the you
we are speaking to
is not the person
we imagine
yet we go on telling you
day after day of the person
we imagine
ourselves to be
From Monologue by W.S Merwin
An excerpt from Crave, written by Sarah Kane and performed in the Guthrie Theater, University of Minnesota during 2006.
