This stage is a holy place
full of all of the colors of human existence
full of now and everynow.
It exists in the present or not at all
in every moment in history.
The story is entwined passionately
with love that is not love, pain that is not pain,
coincidence that overcomes every plan.
All life's grand contradictions are played out here,
fear and favor on full display before a jury of her peers.
It does not end happily, or ever after
but waits
suspended
Alive with possibility
that the people will return
to fill their rows, take their places
and try again to get it right.
