Walk back slow - from the Stage
the foot- loght dims
return, now to green room
All make-up on face, the transplanted paints
the mask or that camouflage-glow
or out-sourced pigments , -on the cheeks
Wash them off to come back - clean.
Undress then ; dropp off all dressing -game
or borrowed cream.
Now, if you can, come out again
with naked courage
down to the foot-light - where
the dispersing audience , drugged with words or dazed
and eager to leave .
And you too
take the easy poise and stand, ,-facing all
speak from inside-heart ---
' i am not acting , anymore now ,-or
talking from script
I am the real man , -from within.
