Questions to Date
Here are all the questions I've collected so far. Some are closer to how they might be phrased in the text for the piece than others. Some may be redundant. Use the edit function or comments windows to add or delete as you see fit:
How do you believe the world will end (i.e. in what way)?
How do you believe the world will end (i.e. with conviction, as a physical necessity, as an article of your faith, in what percentage of certitude- this could possibly be the same)?
Opening question (on mic) If the world were to end tomorrow, how would you act today (or I would)?- at the end of the piece, a variation on this which is more poignant, less innocent.
How many of you can swim?
How many of you take a shower today (as in economies)?
Do people pray (also with picture prompts)?
Other questions (which will, in retrospect, implicate the audience): do you leave water running when brushing teeth, do you toss cigarette butts out the car window, do you drive more than 50 miles a week, more than 150? Did you drive here tonight?
Do you know who Ganesh is? The Mahdi?
Would it frighten you if someone bled water? If a voice told you to put oil on the door, would you?
Do you fear: global warming, nuclear Armageddon, etc?
Do you think time is gone forever? Or is time always present. Linear or Cyclical?
They say a clock is ticking- ticking on the life of the sun, ticking on the timers of bombs, ticking on an elliptical universe, ticking on the arrival of the Messiah, ticking in soot-darkened sky and I want to know, if you’re even listening, which clock do you hear ticking?
If you’re worried about tomorrow, face forward.
If you count the gallons going into your gas tank, turn left.
If you count the seconds until the Second coming, look up.
In flight, the land disappears under water, and where then do birds land?
What do animals know that we ignore?
What is everyone so worriedworried about(sic)?
Is your universe getting bigger or smaller?
