Playbill

Playbill: Sept 8, 2001

                        

Time gives a bifocal view to the written scenes of life. 

Mental screams of past strife. 

Broken pencils lead to scenes being inked, unable to erase. 

Scenes misplaced. 

X-ing out terms, words piercing through providing a Seeing Eye glass for transparency able to entertain those in the balcony.

Casting call for the supporting roles

Contact list full but cell phone providing no service, alone. 

Curtain call; 

first scene;

the first cut;

Depression rolls down her arm-pain dripping to the floor. 

Living has become her anesthetic

Inherited this dis ease of dejection 

Pierced flesh unable to mend, bandaged in rejection 

Second call-Healing on the horizon 

Head to the sky she prays for the intoxication of faith 

To be healed from the genes she had held. 

Final cut-Faith birthed.

You shall live and not die
