You desperately seek patience
but it quickly flee

It was still there
so close

Where is it?
I need it so much

Now come on
Now stay there

That's so annoying again
you can hardly believe

How can you overcome that
When patience just disappears

Well then get some coffee
and the chocolate
That will help
to find what disappeared so quickly

I think it had a cast of only 3 or 4 performers. They were using actual #Shakespeare #dialogue; it wasn't written in modern English or anything like that. I don't remember a lot about the performance other than what I'm about to relate. Either it wasn't that memorable, or this bit was simply burned into my brain and left no room for anything else.

Lady MacBeth was played by a young woman - probably not older than 18 - and the others were young as well. Lady MacBeth performed one of her monologues in an ... #unusual fashion.

While she was #monologuing, she and MacBeth were, to put not too fine a point on it, dry-humping. Doggy-style. So fully #clothed, but doing the, uh, motion of the real thing. Lady MacBeth was leaning forward over a chair, facing directly out into the #audience, while MacBeth was behind her, hands on her hips, #thrusting away #rhythmically through her whole #speech.

He wasn't just faking, so her lines were interrupted every couple of seconds with a #slapping sound and a hitch in her voice. I don't remember which soliloquy it was, but it would have gone something like:

We fail! (slap)
But screw your courage (slap) to the sticking-place (slap),
And we'll not fail (slap). When Duncan is asleep (slap) -
Whereto the rather (slap) shall his day's hard journey (slap) ...

But they were playing it deadly serious.

I'm seriously sitting over here laughing right now.

Why you ask? Because some silly @net_run reported my good morning post and claimed it to be an AI Prompter of all things.

Yet I've been doing these posts for well over two years here without a single issue.

People seriously crack me up with their cluelessness at times.

Surely they have something better in life to do.
