On the stage
Spotlight fading into shadows
He stands alone

A desperate look of hope
Marring his lined face

Staring out into the audience
Scanning each face for
Some sign of recognition
Some sign of connection

He finds none
As he performs this role
Yet again

Significant? Tragic? Funny? Sad?
Yes, he nods

Speaking in rhymes
Words from the soul

As lights fade from white to blue
He falls upon the stage

One final act
Living a play
He wished
He’d never learned
Life in three acts... wonder which one I'm playing.

The end?

Well, as John Doe once said: "This is a new song... about people who have died... from being on stage."
