Laid
The stage is black and bare. All the lights are focused on the center making a circle of light.
As the scene plays out, the lights change color slowly, many colors, whatever you see. HE enters and stands at the edge of the circle of light. SHE enters and stands at the opposite side.
HE
I thought about you.
SHE
So did I – about you.
HE
I missed you all the time I was here.
SHE
And before that?
HE
I missed you more.
SHE
I can't stop thinking about you.
HE
It's bad, isn't it?
SHE
It's a good bad. It makes me hot and my skin gets wet. And I'm constantly rubbing my fingers together.
HE
Oh yes, my fingers and my lips and my legs.
SHE
What time is it?
HE
I don't know.
SHE
I don't care.
HE
Neither do I.
SHE
I don't know what to do.
HE
Neither do I.
SHE
I miss you, I want to stop missing you. I want to stop aching.
HE
So do I.
SHE steps into the center of the circle and removes her clothes. She keeps the clothes pressed against her covering the front of her body. HE steps in and does the same. They stand there looking at each other. The lights keep changing colors.
