To be
what is expected.
Delivering lines
you’ve written for me.
Directed how and when
to move, to sit, to stand.
Seven days a week.
One final act
upon a broken stage.
An encore is
not to be.

yeah i could not live a scripted life...it would drive me crazy...and yeah there would be no encore from that...
ReplyDeleteLove how you divide To be & not to be with poetry! Props just for that. Agree with Brian. In general, I think poets/writers have a difficult time with directives. Nice work.
