An actor was perched in perfect fragility upon the stage He blurred the lines Hid behind a shroud A giant banner of illusion caked within his face Who could he be? Did it matter? Did it matter if it mattered? He moved this way and that whilst belching his monologue There was an implied and shared delusion Within him Within the audience He carried himself toward his marks night after night As the scene drew to a swift and rewarding close He turned his back to leave Crossing the lines Between two worlds occupied in the same space

The Actor
An actor was perched in perfect fragility upon the stage He blurred the lines Hid behind a shroud A giant banner of illusion caked within his face Who could he be? Did it matter? Did it matter if it mattered? He moved this way and that whilst belching his monologue There was an implied and shared delusion Within him Within the audience He carried himself toward his marks night after night As the scene drew to a swift and rewarding close He turned his back to leave Crossing the lines Between two worlds occupied in the same space
