Why is it so dark in this theatre?© GERALD ENGLAND
is the play over?
Has the audience gone?
Have the actors left the stage?
Why is this theatre so dark?
Your part in the play is over
The actors are still on stage
There has never been much of an audience
We have written out your part
You won't be replaced,
though there'll be others to follow
We still see the light
The darkness is your last, dying illusion
