The mindless voice announced
all those unseated will await the next show.
We filed slowly, languidly into the hall.

The auditorium was vast and silent
as we seated and were darkened, the voice continued.
The program for this evening
is not new.
You've seen this entertainment through and through.
You've seen your birth your life and death

Where are you going?
To the other side of morning.

That is all.
