Streaming live

cities bubbling with their stories
life playing out with all its drama
characters come and go
behind every curtain falls a hero
at other times a villain

the city recycles bit parts for show biz
in one continuous stage production

Congrats in Brian's contest, Line. It kind of looks like what Suzette asked for in her story contest

wow, powerful and insightful words, Line! Your title was perfect, by the way, given the context of your poem. Seems like we humans gravitate towards live streaming and the instantaneous drama. yellow rose
