Stage Managed

The whole thing is loving itself every minute.
Nothing stands between love and where you are now,
Except a few words that solidified as they fell to the ground.
Words fly by like old tired trains rumbling through familiar neighborhoods.

A transparent director holds the stage together, keeps the actors moving.
He whispers familiar lines you can count on to bring the same reactions.
The audience laughs or gasps predictably.. appreciating the cleverness.
Fortunately, the stage manager knows who you are.

He stands beyond the footlights with your cue cards.
Here, here. You are home right here.
Everywhere. Throw kisses and bow.
