stupidity
what is that
when you
don't think
or when you think too much
maybe
lights go down on the theatre
a large woman appears and then disappears
a chevy cavalier pulls on to the stage
"Did somebody order a left handed pizza?"
the near sighted youth at the wheel asked the audience.
"Hey get out of here!" the backstage manager was
screaming. but too late the \\show had begun

Now I lay me down to sleep
how 's that go?

something something something something

there's a hole in my bucket dear Liza dear Liza

and the show had ended

"I really like that part with the pizza delivery guy." A man was saying to his wife.
"Are you hungry?"

They slipped into the all night diner.

the jukebox was playing Elvis Presley's It's Now Or Never.
"the famous date rape song." The man's wife remarked.

a boy was sitting at a nearby booth reading Death in Venice by Thomas Mann

'I'd like to go to Venice' the man thought to himself. Maybe a little "business trip" without the family, heh heh. Those Italian goddesses are really something.

the waitress was in the kitchen crying.
