Staging Life
It's first lived out behind the curtains,
It's rehearsed in the chamber,
In the spotlight of the mind,
In the theatre of the heart,
A stage is set,
The script is acted,
The scenes are played,
They are run to the end,
Or paused to be played later,
If the stage hasn't been phased out,
If the dream hasn’t been cloaked by the night,
In the mind dreams are staged,
In the heart, a class system dwells.
