Face

Take a deep breath
and step onstage
Deliver your lines command their focus!
But all the while
you can't help but
Look to the crowd gauging their eyes
as one falls asleep
two watch raptly
mouths set in stone seeking the end
an end for which
you've deja vu'd
a thousand nights before
make each night
their treat, not yours.
and when all's said
all bows taken
Peel your soul - for tomorrow night
it's a new dawn
And the post-show exit yields once more
a thousand strangers' faces.
