Old FatherOld Father doesn't sleep,Old Father
he goes through the night
counting the seconds between
kisses shot and bullets blown.
He won't slow down
He won't speed up
He counts the moments between
words and actions brought about
through violent eyes and heated tongues.
Old Father will always count
so come to me, or open your door.
Don't wait for what the wind may bring,
let it swim out from inside you and embrace.
Embrace now.

[Open on a bus stop with bench, currently unoccupied. OLD MAN enters slowly from SR, hobbles to and sits on the far side of the bench. He takes a sighing breath, then extricates a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket. He places one in his mouth, lights it, and smokes contentedly. There is the sound of a scuffle off SR, and YOUNG MAN is thrown bodily onto the stage, where he staggers to his feet, somewhat drunk.]
YOUNG MAN: Just you wait til I'm sober again! [Nearly falls twice] but until then, I'll give you time to think about
