November Playwrighting 25: Angles Weep No More but maybe they should weep?

 I've hit some kind of wall where I know I'm just spinning my wheels in these scenes, not progressing, and part of it is the time I have or don't have right now. I need space to clear my head about the plot now that I've torn it apart and am trying to patch it back together. I don't know where to go. So, I just get something down on a page each night, hoping something will occur to my characters to say. I keep on swimming!

How are you? What are you?

                                                JANIS

The fuck I know. He never had a heart, so that makes sense.

                    JIM

You don’t know. This. This takes power. Unimaginable power to bring us here, living yet not.

                    PEARL

Yeah, man, this is…

                    JIM

I can make the earth stop in
its tracks. I made the
blue cars go away.

I can make myself invisible or small.
I can become gigantic & reach the
farthest things. I can change
the course of nature.
I can place myself anywhere in
space or time.
I can summon the dead.
I can perceive events on other worlds,
in my deepest inner mind,
& in the minds of others.

I can

I am

                    PATTY

Who do you think you are, God?

                    JIM

Maybe. I wrote that long before this rebirth, and here I am.

                    JANIS

I think this has nothing to do with you. It is bigger, man, we are a tiny drop in the universe.

                    JIM

Not me.

                    JANIS

All of us! (to PEARL) Why are you here?

                    PEARL

Here, man?

                    JANIS

Yes!

                    PEARL

Here? Here! Because I got hit over the head by her!

                    JANIS

(to GABRIELLE) Why are you here?

                    GABRIELLE

Because I work here.

                    JIM

Do you? Did you dig my grave?

                  GABRIELLE

Non!

                   JANIS

Why did you hit her?

                                        GABRIELLE

I thought they were going to steal from Jim Morrison’s grave or were stealing from it.

                JIM

Of course! I have the good stuff brought to me even in death!

(JIM begins sorting through the things on his grave)

                JANIS

So, you work around his grave all the time. You were here stealing?

                PATTY

This is ridiculous! We weren’t stealing we are here looking for a geo cache and Pearl wanted to stop by Jim’s grave to.. to… why were we here because the clue didn’t mention him or a man at all.

               JIM

You wanted to bring me something?

                                PATTY and PEARL

No!
