What is it about this conversation? Seems there’s still more to see about how un-alive life can be …
- You are easy to get along with in a quiet, boring kind of way.
- You break no taboos.
- You no longer feel doomed.
- You are in total control of yourself.
- You confuse movement with action.
- You think saying something communicates.
- You are holding the bag, your horses, onto your hat, and other relatively useless things.
- You don’t cooperate.
- You employ a kind of rigor that is mortifying vs. enlivening or empowering.
- You cuss very little.
- You have lots of average days, one after the other.
- You gave up all the roles in your play.
- You don’t get cast in dramas, tragedies or comedies, only melodramas and soap operas that endlessly repeat.
- You can’t tell what story you’re in.
- You miss your entrances and exits and frequently bungle your lines.
