While the well-to-do audience were watching the scene by scene <br />This poor fellow holds the knotty string and whenever he hears the bell <br />He gets ready to raise or put down the velvet curtain. <br />Only in the tricky interval he gets a brief rest in his life-drama. <br /> <br />*Dedication to my poetess friend Sandra.Fowler for her good health.<br /><br />nimal dunuhinga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-one-eyed-curtain-raiser-in-the-tragic-theatre-of-life/
