Playing Fair and Being Kind

GAIA PRESENTS

Some are calling or

            Spreading invitations,

                        Some warn away intruders.

 

Unseen but Heard –

Sitting high, calling loudly,

insistently,

I imagine:

            Chatty, old friends, enjoying reunion,

 or,

            Cautious introductions, unsure with bated breath,

 

This open-air venue with

            free seating twenty-four hours a day,

Daily productions all year long,

Authors rotate through the seasons.

The best seats

            in the house.

The show begins

            when I arrive.

The curtain is always up

and

                       Someone or Something is always

                       Treading the boards.

 

The plot is never clear but is ever captivating.

I laugh, I cry, I applaud.
