acknowledgments

the audience would like to thank the performer
for doing all the heavy-lifting in her corner

we offer these tokens as an acknowledgement
of the price the performer’s manic obsessions have cost her

As we return to our warm lives and cold children
the audience hopes these said tokens

will allow the performer to travel
deeper into her subjectivities

enabling the audience to pick through resonant
moments as if they were their own

before the exhaustion of the weekend
upends their sense of being well-done
