Soap Opera Blues
Resignation.
Back to being the girl in the background?
Yes, in the background.
It's been that way forever, don't you remember?
She's always in the audience giving a standing ovation to the actors.
Why don't you realize that she wants to play too?
She can act too.
The little dog under the table?
Yes, under the table.
Snapping at their heels for a little bit of meat.
Just a crumb, master.
The one who lets them get away
Because she likes it that way.
Masochist.
