Between Scenes

 

 

Between scenes there are pauses to recollect,

To regroup, rekindle, revisit, admire and replay again,

But not for the reluctant actor!

The reluctant actor,

     Never ‘acts’ the norms and values

Determined to ridicule life,

He’ll not conform to sadistic

Undertakings written with desires on wit,

     She’ll not surrender the question –

Dismissed as juvenile,

Questions designed as an

Interrogative that seek  - only ‘further meaning!’

 

He, or she,

Will know,

Know of only the few -

Who’ll exact a brief moment

Of actualisation; the rest;

Enjoying playing to the gallery

That observes only falsehoods

In the human condition,

And like slave and master,

There is no demarcation line

Between the two,

Only moments between scenes

Where ‘we,’  can truly determine

A ‘difference,’

Between life,

And death!
