The Dialogue
by Carl Santoro
"I like dialogue a lot."
"Me too."
"But I just can't articulate it."
"Why's that?"
"Well, because it's stuck inside this writer's pen."
"Oh, dear."
"Oh well, isn't that terrific. All you got for me is an, 'oh, dear'"?
"Well, what did you want me to say?"
"Aren't you free to say whatever you please?"
"To a point."
"I would've quoted a line from Albee, like..."
"Oh, like - "C'mon over here and give your mommy a big sloppy kiss?"'
"Martha's line! Exactly!"
"But you can't until it spills out from the pen, correct? Correct? Hello?"

Albee woulda loved this.
Meta/post something or other. Entertains, too.
Thanks for the visit James.
I loved your "Grocery List" - " "hurry
back home."
"i love you."
"i miss you."
Gary, thank you for visiting, "Dialogue" and your kind words.
I enjoyed your "Existential" and I feel as though, as you have posited, I could be always leaving the "after-image on the hunt for the brightest star"
