heroes, heroines, villains and clowns
sporting masks of smiles and frowns
changing in and out roles
of characters inherited, or stole
curtain calls that drop appear off script
of some plots that have no drift
endless rehearsals ever after
lines we try master but get no dafter
building audiences over years
showcasing our talents and our fears
moving cities with our show
adding to the aisle a few more rows
living this karmic drama each day
with some more lines to act and say
In awe I think of this master creator
who built this world - the live theater
