Applause

a faceless man 
stands on the corner and waves
as if on a stage 
as if delivering
the third and final act
from a play
from life

We help give him reprieve, and ourselves, by seeing a portion of ourselves in each flailing motion, full disclosure were it not for the whims of God (dare we speculate on motive) (I have not been satisfied fully by any in print or lectured); wisdom and compassion exhibited in your excellent poem.
