~ Put Your Kilt On ~
*Conversation
with Christine*
(Live collaboration with Christine Wichman)
***
Christine and Dahlia are
sitting in a pub having a pint when...
Christine: (Ping) (Looks
down at text on phone) Put Your Kilt On, My Hopper app just found us a
roundtrip flight to Edinburgh for 500 dollars!!
Dahlia: There is so
little money in my back account my scenic checks show a ghetto!
Christine: Lose the melancholy,
‘cause at this price I will pay for both of us!! Happy Birthday!
Dahlia: Woo Hoo! We are
gonna have some hot fun in the Summer time! (Clinks Beer Glass to Christine’s
pint)
Christine: Summer in the
city means we can finally go to the Fringe Festival together. You are going to
love it! I have not been to the Fringe since the Summer of ‘69! Ha ha!
Dahlia: I have heard there
are lots of Buskers, live music, and dancing in the streets!
Christine: Baby, it’s cold
outside in Edinburgh, even in the summertime, all my dancing will be inside.
Besides, I love the original plays and spoken word poetry. I might sneak in a
museum or two.
Dahlia: I heard that on the
Royal Mile they have Sidewalk Poetry and you like that!
Christine: Oh yeah, and last
time I enjoyed a hot guy’s love letter in a Sidewalk song. Almost made me want
to move to Edinburgh! So sure I will go chasing pavements with you!
Dahlia: Oh my God I melt
with you just imagining a guy in a kilt singing to me!
Christine: Hey, this used to
be my playground. I love the Fraser kilts the best, I wonder which tartan
material that is?
Dahlia: Uhh hellooo?
“Boyfriend Material”.
Christine: Oh yeah and pack
a raincoat, sometimes it rains a lot in August.
Dahlia: Then how can we read
chalk marks in a rainstorm?
Christine: Sometimes the
chalk outline is just as pretty!
Dahlia: Well I am not gonna
just walk around in the rain to look at tar and cement!
Christine: Note to self.
Take Dahlia to the Playground Love Reading, if it rains!
Dahlia: What is the
Playground Love Reading?
Christine: This year I heard
they will be using the playground for Love Poetry readings. Maybe you can even
read some of your own? There is still time to sign up.
Dahlia: But then, where do
the children play?
Christine: I am sure they
will be back in school by then. Only the adults will still have that Summer
feeling!
Dahlia: Hopefully I can
conquer my writer’s block by then!
Christine: Well you will
have plenty of time on the plane to come up with something!
(Dahlia and Christine clink
glasses again)
Dahlia: Bring on the Kilts!!
Christine:
Yayyyy for Scotland!!
