8 Stops

Artist: Deb Margolin

A Comedy Concerning the Grief of Endless Compassion. Compassion makes such sacred, sacred fools of us! It is about apologizing to things for throwing them in the garbage! It is about hearing the voices of creatures that do not speak! It is about having only 8 stops, wanting to raise, in 8 subway stops, a little boy thrust here from another country with people who could not love him! I meet this boy once, and never again! I have only 8 stops to fill him with a sense of safety and love! 8 stops and no more! I try; I try and try to do it! It is about the mortal body! Shall I say more? Whoever knows what s/he's really talking about?
