Down the curtain,

and enter the impossible life,

with good and bad and doubtful,

and spite!

have you shown your light,

and who has seen you, have you seen

enough,

been beaten, been tough?

is there glory in your days,

will you raise hell if there will be?!

and what are we,

besides seeking,

is there such a thing as well-being,

baby, child―miracle‫!―woman,

man . . .

what has the world taught you,

and could we live without you,

and will you let go,

go, go—

you were taught to run!
