about

I once spent a summer in a multi-level marketing scheme. Yep. The protagonist here is one of my roleplaying characters, but if nothing supernatural had ever happened to xem.

Beatrix feels robbed by the banality of life. In xeir cosmology, the known world is a tiny island on a sea of possibilities, mediated by a lighthouse. Whether the lighthouse is actual or allegorical is left ambiguous at this point in the narrative.

[BEATRIX slams xeir head on the counter. The CUSTOMERS immediately stop moving as the music begins. Stage lights focus on BEATRIX.]

BEATRIX:

lyrics

Here I am fronting for a scam
Work is such a trap
Kitchen knives that can sing Burl Ives
No one needs this crap

Tend my stall in a burnt out mall
Where do I begin?
I suspect that the architect
Is entombed within

There is a rose-lit keep
Facing the ancient deep
On shore of the so-called real world
Where we all sleep

Climb up the winding stair
Moonlight will see you there
At height you can chart your own fate,
If you dare

Dead-end track and I sprained my back
I could use a beer
Don't you know this is just a show?
Nothing matters here

Scratch your itch when you buy my kitsch
I can't stand the twee
We're all placed on a pile of waste
Spat out from the sea

Search for the rose-lit keep
Turn back the ancient deep
Have faith in the realm that's hidden
Take the leap

Climb up the winding stair
Breathe in the moonlit air
The truth even now awaits me
Why can't I dare?
