Stage Right

Center stage left, and exit. 
	Enter the Demon stage right-
	And there he comes to play; weaving
	His way, piteously, throughout the act.
	Lurking on haunches in plain sight.
	We smile with mirth; delight.
	Oh what a scene! What a show! 
	Then the lights go out.	
	Woefully, crowds recognize that which was not fiction.
