Monologue
Filippos Tlemon​


2
 
i can’t take it any longer.
 
1
 
what’s the matter this time?
 
2
 
i can’t. i’m going crazy.
 
1
 
with what?
 
2
 
i don’t know what to write. i don’t know what to create.
 
1
 
is that all?
 
2
 
you don’t understand, i’m suffocating.
 
1
 
because you don’t know what to create.
 
2
 
yes, i don’t know.
 
1
 
why don’t you create some silence?
 
2
 
how can i create silence? what are you talking about?
 
1
 
well it’s easy. while you are sitting there, just don’t talk.
 
2
 
you’re heartless. you’re pathetic.
 
(pause)
 
 
1
 
why are you acting like a child?
 
2
 
you don’t understand me.
 
(pause)
 
1
 
no one understands you, isn't that right?
 
2
 
no one.
 
1
 
who can understand such a genius?
 
2
 
exactly, who?
 
1
 
who can communicate with you?
 
2
 
no one.
 
1
 
who can rise up to a giant?
 
2
 
a giant, that’s how it is.
 
1
 
hey, giant.
 
2
 
yes?
 
1
 
come down from the clouds.
 
2
 
don’t tell me to come down, it drives me crazy.
how many times do i have to tell you that? huh? you’re heartless.
 
1
 
don’t you think you’re pushing it too far?
 
2
 
you’re pushing too far.
 
1
 
why don’t you leave me then? you might find peace.
 
2
 
i can’t find peace.
 
1
 
because you don’t know what to create.
 
2
 
exactly.
 
1
 
what if you wrote another poem?
 
2
 
you’re joking, right?
 
1
 
no, i’m being very serious.
 
2
 
i have no inspiration. i’m tired of poems. i don’t know if the small form suits me.
 
1
 
you are troubled by the small form?
 
2
 
i am tormented by it.
 
1
 
it’s sad.
 
2
 
it’s a drama.
 
1
 
a tragedy.
 
2
 
tragedy.
 
(pause)
 
1
 
what’s the problem then with the small form?
 
2
 
i don’t know if it’s fulfilling anymore.
i don’t know if it’s relevant, don’t know if it matters.
i can’t just express my feelings.
there is no point in writing what i feel.
who will read this?
who will want to read about my feelings?
i need something superior.
i must create something more universal than my emotions.
 
1
 
isn’t the small form relevant?
 
2
 
no, it’s not.
 
1
 
and what is?
 
2
 
the big one.
 
(pause)
 
1
 
the big form... who would have guessed.
 
2
 
the small form is outdated.
it’s for the few remaining dinosaurs of art, for the grandpas that have long been forgotten.
 
1
 
forgotten.
 
(pause)
 
is it possible that you might also want to create, in order to spill your gut’s out?
 
2
 
i don’t know, it’s possible... i don’t know...  maybe... maybe that’s what i want... i don’t know.
i am confused.
 
1
 
have you considered going to a therapist?
 
2
 
are you serious?
 
1
 
i am.
 
2
 
then you should go to a shrink. you go.
 
1
 
i won’t argue, go. what are you waiting for?
 
2
 
nothing.
 
1
 
go on then.
 
2
 
i will.
 
1
 
farewell then.
 
2
 
what are you doing?
 
1
 
weren’t you on your way?
 
2
 
me? where to?
 
1
 
to the therapist.
 
2
 
i’m not going anywhere.
 
1
 
ok.
 
(pause)
 
2
 
the small form...  it’s so outdated, so irrelevant, so meaningless.
it’s just like a confession but on a higher level.
i’m bored of it, it tires me, i don’t get anything from it, it doesn’t suit me, do you understand?
i can’t just write about my feelings and about symbols and weird phrases and things that no one gets.
i need something else.
 
1
 
so why don’t you create in the big form?
 
2
 
what?
 
1
 
so why don’t you create in the big form?
 
2
 
what are you talking about?
 
1
 
so why don’t you create in the big form?
 
2
 
i heard you. i mean, what do you mean?
 
1
 
i mean: why don’t you create in the big form?
 
2
 
are you messing with me?
 
1
 
me?
 
2
 
yes.
 
1
 
with who?
 
2
 
with me.
 
1
 
me?
 
2
 
yes, you.
 
1
 
you?
 
2
 
not me.
 
1
 
me?
 
2
 
yes, you.
 
1
 
with who?
 
2
 
with you.
 
1
 
with you?
 
2
 
yes, with me.
 
1
 
ok, with you.
 
2
 
ok?
 
1
 
sure, ok.
 
2
 
ok.
 
1
 
ok, that’s what i’m saying.
 
2
 
ok.
 
1
 
alright then.
 
2
 
alright.
 
(pause)
 
well, goodbye then.
 
1
 
goodbye.
 
2
 
you’re leaving?
 
1
 
didn’t we say goodbye?
 
2
 
yeah, we did.
 
1
 
goodbye then.
 
(pause)
 
is there something you want to tell me?
 
2
 
i’m tormented by the big form.
i don’t know how to create in the big form, i don’t have the technique.
i can’t concentrate on something for more than 10 minutes, my mind drifts, it gets carried away.
i can’t concentrate on a simple idea for long, i can’t.
i always have to change the subject.
i can’t.
 
1
 
listen to me.
write down anything that you come up with, everything that comes to you.
big form – short form, it doesn’t matter.
you just write what you can and stop winning.
 
(pause)
 
2
 
i’m leaving.
 
1
 
you’re leaving?
 
2
 
yes, i’m going to bed, i’m feeling tired.
 
1
 
i thought you couldn’t get any sleep.
 
2
 
nah, my eyes are heavy now. in a couple of minutes i’ll be asleep.
 
so, good night.
 
1
 
good night.
