The Stage, the Sea

Now is the time,

The stage, the mime!

 

To stare into the Sea

Where shall I be?

 

In a face, or in the muse?

Could I play to confuse?

 

I must be on stage

Put me up, or put me away.

 

And then let the days end

Come and teach me Zen

 

What is this holiness

Driving the actor to hiss

 

At the night of crime

No reason, no rhyme.
