Feathers At The Door

Please have your feathers ready at the door; the show will not go on without them.

Come in, take a seat, there are plenty down at the front. Don't worry. You're already late, and you're already early.

Did you think this show had a beginning, middle, and end? Not at all. The show is continuous. It began before you arrived, here, in this world. It will continue after you've left.

You will get exactly what you paid for, nothing more, nothing less. Though you may experience some lingering effects, as if you were dreaming.

A single feather for admission. We will not accept more than one feather. Two feathers will not grant you access to the show two separate times.

Every feather is needed. You're needed to play your part. We know: you may not know your part yet. Do not be concerned. But do not hesitate.

You will leave your feather here. Like the show, it will exist even after you've left.

And do not mind if your feather looks like everyone else's. The point is not to tell them apart. It is that you have brought a feather.

So have it ready at the door, please. One feather per show.
