Center Stage.


In the spotlight, center stage, 
a standing ovation 
but I only gaze.
smiling, waving, 
taking my final bow,
I say good night now.


Go home

Rest 
Wake up 
Get ready for another.



Me, Myself and I, 
A comic tragedy,


somewhat like the Greeks
though not the slapstick type - 
a simplistic heart breaking 
tragedy.


Featuring the self,
me - and of course, 
I. 



It's a drag
this show.
and I'm tired of acting,

but my make up stays 

and my gown always ready
and again, I stand center stage
talking to a silent audience
going through my
rising action,
climax,
falling action  

& sometimes, a conclusion.
But if I'm lucky,
we're standing center stage,
where we take our bow-
to claps and choruses of cheers.
We smile back at a spotlight,
and exit,
Me, Myself & I.
