a mechanism for folks to shine

how wonderful to be seen, and to do

everyone needs to be seen,

and, even more important,

everyone needs to find a way

for what one can do

to be done, and appreciated,

to make a difference,

for me, nothing works better than a play,

as a mechanism for many hands

to make a work that is one:

actor, director, choreographer,

costumer, make-up artist, set artists, audience,

from each can come what the ability allows,

how wonderful it is 

when many hands create,

and are seen,

and are appreciated.
