My Cue


 


I read my lines, I don’t miss a single cue


I take my direction from her and you


Rehearsed, rehashed my tepid lines I say


In life’s sad unfolding, unforgiving play


Drama, comedy and a villainous foe


Suspense builds as pain steals the show


Well I break her heart in act three


Or will it be you I say I cannot see


The director calls “action” one more time


And my tears punctuate my pale last line


But I cannot stand applause as curtains fall


Goodnight world this is my final curtain call!

Ah yes, they say life is like a stage play, rehearsed but always a moment when some cue is missed. I really liked this one Fee, a little different from the norm. I like that.

Love this one, Fee! Trouble is, the script is always being revised and new tickets are always being printed and sold for the next venue, so the curtain is never truly final. Ah, sometimes we wish to never again have to ride that blamed bus.

"Rehearsed, rehashed my tepid lines I say
In life’s sad unfolding, unforgiving play"

I love those lines and I'm grateful life doesn't have to be that way. We are born and taught by society to act and perform a certain way, but as individuals we always have a choice and I'm afraid I'm about as nonconformist as they come. Abiding by the laws of the land is one thing, becoming a puppet something else. I'm sure there is probably a lighter meaning behind this...that I'm not getting, but I'm taking it as I read it. As always I enjoyed. Elizabeth

The music theme of Mash have a phrase that says "suicide is painless"
Who are they kidding?
That final curtain are bring down with the great pain of all.
It falls after once on your life performance.
When tears are falling without the applause it is not time to take a bow but to try again until a Life's standing ovation is heard.

why is that line in bold?
at first i thought perhaps it was what you said but im not sure that works or is all you said so im slightly puzzled.

i like the way you question
will i break her heart in act 3...?
it seems like such a careless question in some ways but then... if you KNEW you were gonna do it would you avoid that act perhaps? or maybe rewrite it or even just improv on the night and make something completely else up... i dont know...
but its an interesting question...

As n actor, one can have a final curtain call, as a human I don't think so, for life does not end in death. Death really has no sting. Victor

No final curtain call for you my friend. Life's journey is not at an end. A standing ovation for your work I foresee. She will forgive, we always do, and happiness will be all for you. You have penned this very beautifully and oh so very well, my heart aches with each tear that falls.
