the manuscript - dave malloy lyrics
v. the m*n*script
susan
one morning
i woke up on the floor next to the bed—
almost made it
i stared into the decaying dust village underneath
and i spied something curious
(she pulls out a stack of papers.)
an unbound sheaf of typewritten yellowed pages
tucked underneath a stack of time/life the enchanted world hardcovers
it smells like cardamom
“the berries and the plums:
the end of a wartime romance
by zelma natalija birģelis”
(grandmother appears.)
grandmother
h*llo susan
susan
h*llo grandmama
grandmother
i haven’t seen you since you were a little girl
susan
that’s zelma. my grandmama
grandmother
are you eating enough? you look thin
susan
i didn’t know you were a writer too
grandmother
oh that?
just a diversion
a little old person’s project
practicing my english
to keep my mind sharp
you’ve got to have something to do, susan
