Acknowledgement


Looking at the mirror isn't easy
after so many years.
Still, it's a good way to realize
our bodies were not made in Hollywood
and many scripts are pre-written -
there'zzzzz no need ta fear.

Dah heroes in our tiny dramas
were decided long before dah cast
and will be around after
all characters pass.

Real heroes are undying -
whad appearz on stage
is jes popular entertainment -
tah keep the masses dazed.

Lily: At least the author realizes things aren't as they appear.

Lex:
God help those who take their fictions seriously.

Ron:
People who are too rigid to acknowledge their own fictions are breathing mannequins.

Lily:
We are at our best when we admit our own foolishness.
