Lines learned, lines painted
Hundreds of identities assumed
Dead hundreds of time
All to thunderous applause.
Pronouncements, passions poured in prose
Scenery creating world after world
traveling at the speed of thought
Inciting informing imploring
What's the motivation?
Will I know what to say, where to go?
Good, bad, indifferent.
Laughter, tears, screams, applause
food for the actor's soul
an insatiable appetite; an unquenchable thirst
Onstage, one last time-pain, collapse
final curtain.
