" LIKE AN ACTOR (we lie) "

Sweet ocean, the proscenium stage
To lose yourself
In it's magical wilderness,
Like a single thorn
Upon the stem of the loveliest
Rose,
Drawing blood
From your audience,
Like the actor in each of us,
Telling perfect,
Lies,
To evoke a singular response
To get what you want
From the Love
Displayed,
Whether it be truth, or not
We still swim
The "Proscenium" ocean,
An act
That, not many
Ever dare,
Attempt....

Tony Taylor (Chicago)
