from Looking for a  Worthy Adversary Janet Kuypers the poem “Looking for a Worthy Adversary”, edited 3/27/19 on and for World Theater day all this time I’ve been playing a part an actress on a stage, spouting the lines on cue that role was getting tiresome but those stage lights still came on night after night and I still had to play my part until on my night off I saw your performance at the theatre down the street and you know, your protagonist was doing what I was doing right down to faking it with people who don’t matter right down to going home and still feeling empty watching your show, I liked to see that boiling emotion underneath that no one else could see because only I had the knowledge to know what that emotion really means so I’m beginning to wonder if we can get together and write our own play it would be a masterful performance and as that curtain would close we’d hold each other’s hands and walk off the stage and the audience would know that there is a happy ending now when I walk out on to the set there you stand, in front, stage left I wait for my cue to make my move none of the rest of the scene matters to me maybe they’d like our little play, maybe they wouldn’t who really cares because now my performance of a lifetime is made I stand here like a statue and wait for my applause as I wait for the reviews on the performance I was made for I know what they’re all going to say but none of that matters anymore because I know what you are going to say because it’s everything that I want to say so I will wait for you to come on stage again for our next wonderful performance where we have our happy ending
