Silhouetted

images before the spotlight

a cast of players

appear in the twilight…

for the moment

secure

in their self-indulgence

the audience laughs

at the entertainment

soon enough

they will learn

about the projectionist

lurking in the back

the anarchist

with an incentive

to trigger his bomb

but for now

this is just another

arrogant evening

ignoring others

like so many others

exploded

by the watcher in black
