This spectator enigma
To this life’s purpose
This then that.

A world so foreign
To a truth so developed.
Spiraled madness
Such confused state.
But hell it has been a good time
Hasn’t it?
The future is blinding
Its brightness disorienting
This reprieve from guiding rules
Frequently abandoned
Providing reckless regard
To the structures comforting.
Linguistic freedom is now
A treasured gift
Giving texture to the bland
Colour to the grey
Observer to narrator
Withdrawing back to oblivion.
Where is that stupefied place anyway?
Freeze back to irregular
A solo act
A perfunctory thespian
The mime in this grand experiment
Formerly focused
Gratefully freed
Being captured again to this web
So long, withdrawn

Rejoycing in isolation makes the actor so good at his craft.They get very good at maximising the small bit of time they are alone. And when you think about it, they are all alone, out there on the stage. Scratch a little bit beneath the surface of an extrovert - particularly someone who seems to have life all sorted - and you will most likely find someone who craves to be left alone, but just can't seem to swing it, because of what is expected. I like the mood of this very much.
The spectator, the one who seems withdrawn, is actually the only one who knows what's really going on. We all slip in and out of engagement. The engaged times are richer for the withdrawl. Nailed it Norton.
