Lost and Found

A short play summarizing my life this past week.

ACT 1:

LOST: Reading glasses.

RESPONSE: Search fruitlessly and buy a new pair.

FOUND: This morning wedged between some books.

ACT 2:

LOST: Clipper Card for bus transit.

RESPONSE: Check all pockets and then buy new one.

FOUND: Not yet, but I’m sure it will turn up.

ACT 3:

LOST: Spanish Gorra hat.

RESPONSE: Think. Call Café Trieste where I might have left it.

FOUND: They had it! Drive an hour round-trip during rush hour to get it.

EPILOGUE:

Isn’t it fun getting old?

(ALTERNATE ENDING)

LOST: My mind.

RESPONSE: Huh?

FOUND: What?
