In a few moments
give or take, the story will end.
If you haven’t been paying attention
the ending will make
no more sense to you
than the rest of the story.
You may be asked why
you came to see it, what
you thought of it and you
will offer some amorphous comments
if you go with the flow
of the conversations around you.
I will be standing in the corner
listening carefully, for I
and the author of the story,
the director of this staging
and I know very well
it means absolutely nothing
and that is what I meant it to mean,
but your comments will amuse me
nonetheless.
