willful suspension of disbelief

the stage is set
and lights are low
lines are delivered
with conviction
scenes played out
as if parts are real

perfect dances performed
around subjects too near
as conversation stays light
and somewhat flirty
not too deep and
not too shallow, just right

build up the characters
expand the role
to include all that looks
good on the outside
and none of the brokenness
hidden just beneath
the surface shell

act one, act two, even act three
all flawless and new
imaginations examine
where the finale
will lead from here

to be continued...
