ronnie 2: but but but no support no art making? kidding me… what support you expect

ronnie 2: [sarcastic] bla bla bla what was it this time? who hurts us and denies our… rumor has it we seem to be increasingly unwilling to accept the proper responsibilities… to be a self-reliant unregistered person is a laugh… a painful one and useless… [shouts] self chosen victim! poor sod!

[silence]

ronnie 2: so what now?

ronnie 1 [looks up]: don’t know… there is maybe another…

ronnie 2 [as if singing]: here we go again playing the fool again acting hard again

ronnie 1: please… shut… UP

ronnie 2 [kinder]: so if one percepts the world as a deceiving truth where… no one excluded… is unreliable… would it not be a great idea to conform to that state of mind and have ignorant bliss?

ronnie 1: [mumbles] i am no other than any and therefore I get the stories wrong too

ronnie 2: maybe the key lies in listening to what you have NOT heard yet? away from reactivism and meantime considering dissatisfaction makes truly an artist.

ronnie 2 [bursts]: pathetic! get on with it!
