The Stage

by Jennifer Schoen Pices - Not entered

This is not your dress rehersal.
You perform for no one.
There is no crowd, no laughter,
     no tears, no applause.
A one-man act,
     spot light on you.
No chorus, no extras,
     no one opposite you.
I no longer stand among your
     imaginary audience.
I will not take part in a pathetic
     show in which you mock the reality
     you refuse to face.
Strike the set, close the curtain,
The show is over.

Reason for writing:

    None given
