about

From "Cryptos".

lyrics

On Cryptozoology (monologue from the play "Cryptos")

ADRIC
The key to making people believe in animals that never have and never will exist is simple, appeal to the instinctual part of their brain that says, "that makes sense." Tell them complicated science, about the vibration of strings and the inner workings of the sun and how it doesn’t actually burn and you’ll get blank stares. Tell them there are giant bears in Russia, sea monsters in Scotland, and ape men in the woods, and they’ll all nod along. Tell them it doesn’t make sense, and they’ll blot you out. So, you indulge them.
