It’s an interrogation that never ends . . .
Why are you here?
Because circumstances
dictate circumstances.
What are you doing?
What I want, when I can,
in that order.
Where are you going?
Everywhere, nowhere.
I have no map.
How will you make a living?
Don’t you mean make a life?
There is a difference, you know.
What’s wrong with you?
Nothing, everything.
I’ll keep you posted.
When are you going to grow up?
I grew old, isn’t that enough?
I think it is.
Are you paying attention?
Are you asking me?
Yes, you, with all the faces.
