Poets' Practice Pad

Koo-koo-ka-choo
A common enough name, hers, Mrs. Robinson,
and his, Ben..., Benjamin Braddock, in full,
not particularly unusual. Typically American.
Was she in all her mature beauty a predator?
Was he a young innocent, a ripe-for-plucking pawn?
What lies behind the lies? An unappreciated middle-aged
woman and spouse desperately seeking validation
that she remains desirable; a foot-free, but confused
young man in search of identity; and each finding answers,
some to questions unasked, in the other. And a third player,
her daughter, Elaine, thrown into the mix as a lovers’ foil,
begins to turn the plot in the middle of the play, opening new doors
while closing others. Yes, all walk away somewhat uneasily at curtain call,
knowing a little more about what is, yet understanding far less what is to be.
