ACTOR/DIRECTOR

we came to
your open-air amphitheatre
to watch your
play

but were baffled
by all the mirrors
and smoke (so
much smoke)
and the optical illusions

hideous
optical illusions

further, we must also
confess to being terminslly
confused when it
came to identifying
the genre

obviously historicsl, with
a strand of absurdism
and much theatre of cruelty
      (not to speak of
the spuriously apocalyptic
       religious revelation stuff)

we could not believe so
many of the characters, the
actors, the production crew
and the audience
met their end in the firsr scene
first act, the number
in steady escalation

until no one remaimed
the bodies piled high on
and around the stage

no encore
no one there
        for the final curtain

and no less a great loss,
        no sign anywhere of
the original script
