THE ACTOR


Each night and every morning
I go diligently through
My lines and actions
For the day’s performance

My face prepared
My costume donned
I step out of the wings
CENTRE STAGE!

Some days it’s smooth
The Playwrights nuances
Coming through the
Matrix of the players work

Sometimes we miff our lines
(We were too busy to prepare)
Sometimes we are confused
By others wrong entry and cues
(Our misjudgement)

Sometimes we are deafened, by
The clamour and the din
Imagined applause
The orchestra too loud

Those many oversights
Which deafen us to
The Prompter
In the wings
