Passing round rub on tattoos
a stage hand weaves between tripods,
some erected, some discarded.
The bed is made, lights are set.
All the best technology
surrounds this simple scene.
When viewed by lonely men in rooms
dark and close, like time capsules,
the red faced director
might never have breathed.
Actors cast aside the sheets,
think of home and click their heels.

"We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges." - Gene Wolfe
