a monologue from
PHONE ARTS

by L.B. Hamilton


JANE: Listen, Moire. . . I'm good.  I found my path.   I am a performance artist! I have instincts, Sweetie. And a following.  I know what they need even when they don't.   I can talk whole new worlds for them and take them where they never knew they could go. I can make them laugh; I can make them cry; and they are in a big new place and are...are... transformed.   And they come back for more - it's a built-in market with huge return business!   And they don't have to dress up and go somewhere and hang out with a bunch of snooty strangers to find art - No...it's right there, at their fingertips.  And my art can't be stolen from them and it won't be ruined by time, or lose value,  because mine is a living art - always...always... um...reinventing itself! Yeah!  Powerful and, and… um…and  empowering! It's in your face,  real....um...audiophonic! Yeah!  Audiophonic art. Oh think about it, Sweetie.  We could branch out.  Make a fortune, buy a house - have that baby?  1-900- WHISPER is a gold mine!
