Attention
Submitted by Sad Leddy on Thu, 2007-05-03 16:54.
“Well, I’m on this soapbox here today to get some attention. Not just any sort of attention, but a very specific kind. I want your attention, you sir, in the blue suit. No, no, no! Don’t run away, I won’t expect any response from you, unless you want to give it! Come back, sir, come back!”
“Ok, how about you, sir? You in the sports jacket, will you give me some attention? I’m not asking for anything more than five minutes of your time; only five minutes! That’s not too much, is it?
“Thank you. Thank you, sir. I don’t have anything to tell you, I just want some attention. Thank you. Thank you for standing and watching me for as long as you can.
“Well, if you’ve got more than two hours to spend, I may not need that much attention. If you’ve got two hours to spend, I want something fruitful to come out of our interaction, as it were. Two hours doesn’t sound like a long time but I’m not sure I can talk for that long, or stand being the focus of your attention – but, no! Please stay!
“I will dance, if you like; I’m a pretty good dancer! Look, I can touch my toes; I bet you can’t do that! And look how high I- ok, ok, I’m dancin’. Look at me!”
Lady moves her hips back and forth, then brings her hands to her chest, with her elbows straight out. She lifts her left clenched fist up to a 90 degree angle with her arm, then brings it back to her chest. Once her left fist is back at her chest, she repeats the same movement with her right fist. She alternates left and right fists, turning her head slightly to watch the placement of her fists and arms. She focuses on maintaining straight arms and square angles. After a few repetitions of this movement, she adds her left leg, kicking it forward after every 8 bends she makes with her arms. She stops, then starts again, kicking forward her right leg after every 8 arm bends. Alternating left and right kicks in series of 4 kicks, she continues for 16 of each leg.
A small crowd gathers. “What’s going on?” “What’s she doing?” people ask.
Lady stops. “I just wanted some attention – and thank you all for giving it!” she says.
Lady gets down off her box, picks it and her bag that was sitting behind it, up, then walks off in the direction of Howe St.
