The play of your life
Continues unrehearsed
Fate is the director
But you have plans of our own
You (The Protagonist)
Are stranded
With only scraps of plot
The script is impulsively ad-libbed
Except for a few self-rehearsed plot twists
The supporting cast of characters
Differ with relevancy and appearance over time
You hope the fan favorites
Remain in the wings
Ready to help advance the narrative
At a moments notice
And if everything appears to be going wrong
Imagine yourself in the balcony
Laughing with the audience
At the fool
On the stage

wayne, of your current submissions, this is my favorite. it brings to mind an Ashbery poem where he says, (and i paraphrase,) he can see the clouds in the background are made of cotton, and he sees the stage machinery being moved. to see the varying aspects of reality, and to be outside observing it is a great take. to repeat my favorite Wallace Stevens, “realism is a corruption of reality.” keep on keeping on. will
